A senior Catholic sister is on the spot over alleged physical attack of her junior at St Joseph Seminary, Rakwaro in Migori county.
In a video clip that has since gone viral, the suspect is seen beating her junior.
The victim is seen complaining and requesting her tormentor to stop beating her in front of junior staff.
“Why are you beating me? Why are you insulting me in front of workers. This is wrong and what you are doing is bad,” she cried.
But the infuriated senior sister continued to physically assault her saying there is nothing she can do.
“Do you want me to continue beating you? You will know.” She said as she continued to assault her.
But in a statement from a senior sister Mary Gorrety Ochieng termed the incident as unfortunate and in bad taste.
She wrote ” The Francisican Sister s of St Joseph have become aware of a deep regrettable incident involving one of our members physically assaulting a younger sister, a clip which has circulated widely on social media.
This action is personal failing and does not represent the values of St Jospeh.
We deeply regret the harm caused to the sister involved, as well as the scandal and the pain this incident has caused to our congregation, the church and the public.
Our charism is joyful love, and compassion. Violence in any form is contrary to any form of our life.
We are addressing this matter according to the church and congregational. Procedures to ensure dignity and wellbeing of the members.
We ask for prayers for those affected and for congregation as whole as we seek healing and reconciliation. “She said.
