On Wednesday, December 14, there was drama at Mombasa Law Courts when a 21-year-old man threatened to strip naked in front of the court to show the court a rash in his private parts.
Musa Mohamed who is charged with attempted murder, appeared before Mombasa Senior Principal Magistrate Vincent for the mention of his case, told the court that his private parts had become so itchy due to the non-conducive environment at the Shimo la Tewa prison, leaving the courtroom in stitches.
“I have really itchy private privates with rashes all over that I can show you,” he remarked as he attempted to raise up his Kanzu before the magistrate glanced away.
He alleged that convicts at Shimo la Tewa were housed in one congested area, and that the current heat had caused him to acquire heat sores that had migrated to his genitals.
“I beg you to request that officials in charge take me to the hospital for treatment,” he said, adding that despite his condition, he had only been given panadol in the detention facility.
