Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto has weighed in on Baby Sagini Junior’s torture that left him blind after his eyes were gouged out. The president condemned the parents and guardians of Baby Sagini for failing to protect him.<\/p>\n

While visiting a children\u2019s home in Eldoret on Friday, Ruto pleaded with Kenyans to take care of all children. \u201cPlease take care of our Children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said he is surprised that there are parents who risk the lives of their children instead of protecting them. \u201cWe have seen that there is one parent in Kisii who has removed their child’s eyes. It is a very shocking thing to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He asked what kind of devil possess a human to make them hurt an innocent little child and ruin their life. \u201cAnd when some parents hurt their children, we have good people like these (children\u2019s home) who take in the children without parents and raise them. It really is a world of difference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ruto said that he will ensure that the Government implements the recently passed Children\u2019s Bill that protects the rights of children. \u201cThe government will put in place plans to ensure that no child in Kenya is brought up badly or is hurt or mistreated either by parents or by anyone. The Kenyan government will protect its children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
