A 15-year-old boy was admitted to Webuye county hospital on Wednesday morning after his penis was nearly chopped off by a 'quack' circumciser. Webuye hospital medical superintendent Patrick Muturo said the minor is responding well to treatment although the damage done was extensive. The parents said the boy was not cut by a traditional circumciser but by a doctor who had been called to perform the operation. The class five pupil was rushed to the hospital by relatives after the circumciser's knife slit almost all of his manhood. Muturo said the quack had lied to the family that he was an experienced medic who knew how to carry out a circumcision.
