It was just another normal Monday for John Muchiri, a casual labourer in Rurie, Nyandarua County.
As usual, Muchiri finished his work at 5pm and joined his friends at a local bar for a drink.
Before he could begin, four men entered the bar and sat beside him. And as it is usual with Kenyan bar patrons, a political discussion ensued and Muchiri joined in.
[...]
Time passed and it was soon 9pm. ‘Sonko’, as everyone started addressing him, ordered for yet more drinks.
Muchiri was, however, curious about the men and asked one of them who they were.
“The sonko is a prospective governor and he is on a meet-the-people tour,” the man told Muchiri.
“We are laying strategies for him to capture the seat in 2012.We are after people like you who will help us in the campaigns,” he added.
At around 11pm, the barmaid requested everyone to leave because it was time to close the bar.
After most had left, Muchiri was left with the four men and asked them for a lift home.
[...]
They agreed but after driving for a short distance, they dragged him into a roadside bush and after gang-raping him, chopped off his private parts and drove away.
Passersby found Muchiri lying in a pool of blood writhing in pain.
Narrating the story from his hospital bed in Ol Kalou, Muchiri says he had never before met the men and was just after free drinks and money.
The father of four has since vowed to stop drinking.
If you want to continue to drink to excess without fear of castration, you know which lever to pull in the voting booth.
