The majority of Kenyans want sex pests tried for capital offence and punished more severely than even terrorists and the corrupt.

According to the report of a task force that looked into criminal law, 54 per cent of those interviewed want rape to be categorised as a capital offence and those convicted of the crime jailed without the possibility of parole.
