The High Court in Nairobi sentenced him to an exemplary sentence: 100 years imprisonment without the benefit of being able to convert it into a fine, as is customary in Kenya by law. Not least because that fine conversion would have been unattainable for an ordinary mortal.

Stephen Nzuki is not an ordinary man, he is a real monster who with premeditation, serially raped 'dozens of underage boys' over a period of six years, from 2010 to 2016, as reported in the Kenyan media and it appears from the charges upheld by the Kenyan magistrates.
Nzuki ran an orphanage in Utawala, on the outskirts of the capital, and forced young male guests of the centre into sexual relations, reading them passages from the Bible and interpreting them as if it was the holy book that justified his paedophilia.
A 'monster' as the newspaper The Standard calls him, a beast that the judges decided to sentence to the maximum punishment provided by the recent application of Kenyan laws. While on paper the death penalty would still be prescribed for very serious crimes, in fact in the new millennium it has never been applied. One hundred years may be enough, especially if there are no loopholes for Nzuki, who has always declared himself innocent but has been nailed by the painful and detailed testimonies of many boys who are now of age.

An important stake needed to be put in place, because in Kenya, according to a report by the Ministry of Health, at least 9484 children between the ages of 12 and 17 were violated in 2021, and the HIV virus was transmitted to many of them.
