However, Kiage said Sagini is very healthy and was talking and walking around the hospital. He noted that the baby would be discharged soon. 

"We have been able to control infections and ensure he is fine. There are issues at home that should be sorted out. We need to know where he can be rescued, issues of mental health and where he will stay after he will be discharged," he said.

Kisii Governor Simba Arati termed the attack as appalling and despicable.

"It is unfortunate that such a small boy could be brutalised like this. It points to the growing mental problems society is grappling with, which should form part of the wider investigations," he said.
