Nairobi, 05 October, 2019 / 2:24 am (ACI Africa).
A Kenyan video expose aired on local television stations depicting children at a government facility being mistreated bringing to the public sphere ills in society has angered a cleric attached to the office coordinating child protection services, describing the activities at the facility as “very disgusting and very inhuman.”
“It is very disgusting and very inhuman to see what I saw and what is happening in the eyes of the government which should be taking care of her citizens,” Fr. Calisto Nyagilo told ACI Africa Friday reacting to the video available on YouTube.
Trending under the hashtag SinsofSaviors, children with various cognitive disabilities are filmed in the 51min documentary screaming and groaning in pain as “medics” use an assortment of needle-like objects on various parts of their (children) bodies.
“The way the children were screaming like wild animals then you continue doing the same,” Fr. Nyagilo, a Canon lawyer remarked and continued, “it’s like the action is being hidden and that shows you that indeed they (medics) are not doing the right thing.”
“Following how Pope Francis put it, it is like sacrilege, it is going beyond even what the evil could expect,” the Director of Canon Law National Office which coordinates child protection services under the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) said and added, “You don't expect even the worst of the evil person to do that.”
