A 70-years-old small-scale tea farmer from Getarwet Sub-location in Bureti constituency, Kericho County, is fighting for his life at Litein Mission Hospital after severing his manhood.

Residents of Getarwet Sub-county, Bureti Constituency in Kericho County were treated to a dramatic scene after a 70 years old man chopped off his manhood after he was accused of infidelity.

The sad news were confirmed by the Getarwet area Assistant Chief, Mr. Sylvester Sigei, who said that the 70 year old man, who is a small scale tea farmer opted to mutilate his manhood using a kitchen knife after his close family members accused him of infidelity, with village women.

"When the man’s wife and children confronted the man over wasting limited tea earning on village women, the man denied the accusation and for good measure decided to chop off his manhood". Said the Assistant Chief, Sigei.

The chief confirmed that the man has over 4 acres of tea bushes but his family have always been complaining of never enjoying the fruits of the tea bonus, yet they are the ones who pluck the tea.

"Among the other accusation levelled against the man is that his has even used the tea bonus to construct a permanent house for one of the widow’s he intends to inherit yet he has not constructed a good house for his own family". Added Sigei.

The man was found lying in a pool of blood by the neighbours, with his manhood holding on to a few remaining ligaments. The neighbours therefore rushed him to the Litein Mission Hospital where he is currently fighting for his life.

He is currently undergoing reconstructive surgery where the doctors are reportedly in the process of re-attaching his manhood back.
