A 65-year
old man who nearly chopped off a penis during a circumcision exercise has been charged with inflicting severe injury.
Jared Khisa alias Panadol from Sinoko area in Webuye East constituency pleaded guilty to the charge before resident magistrate Chrispinus Oruwo on Friday.
But Khisa denied allegations that he was a quack saying he had more than eight years experience.
''Nothing like this has ever happened. This was bad luck," he said.
Khisa was arrested on Monday at the home of the 15-year old boy.
He will be detained at the Bungoma
government
prison for 14 days for police to complete investigations.
The prosecution opposed his bail application saying he was likely to interfere with the probe.
The boy was taken to Webuye county hospital.
