Take action against diplomat wife batterer
the STAR, 22nd October 2015. A 26-year-old woman is nursing injuries at the Nairobi Women’s Hospital, after being physically assaulted by her husband, from whom she has been separated for two years. Police at the Kiamumbi station, where the incident was reported, are dragging their feet in the investigation, saying they first have to check if the UNEP employee enjoys diplomatic immunity. Domestic violence is a serious crime, so much so that Kenya specifically created a law — the Protection Against Domestic Violence Act — to deal with cases.
