The Federation of Women Lawyers Kenya (Fida-Kenya) has offered to represent Mercy Cherono - the woman who was tortured and dragged by an OCS using a motorbike in Kuresoi South on Monday, for allegedly stealing. Speaking at the Nakuru County Referral Hospital after visiting Cherono, Ireri said the Kuresoi South incident was a case of abuse of the process of law. She said the Kuresoi South incident was unfortunate, not because it was against a woman, but because no human should be subjected to such treatment. Cherono was picked from a pub in Olenguruone and tortured on claims that she had stolen household goods from a neighbour. She was admitted at the Olenguruone Subcounty Hospital before being moved to Nakuru County Referral Hospital for security reasons.
