A woman accused of stabbing her lover's genitals with a knife was charged with assault yesterday in a Nyeri court.
Ms Valentine Mugure, 25, is accused of stabbing Mr Paul Mwangi, 26, with a knife twice on Tuesday.
She denied the charge.
The prosecution asked that Mugure be remanded as Mwangi was admitted to the Nyeri public hospital in a critical condition after surgery.
The magistrate remanded Ms Mugure until the mention of the case on June 15.
She is alleged to have stabbed Mr Mwangi with a knife at Gamerock near Nyeri Town.
The two have been living together for a few months and are reported to have had a quarrel over money which led to the attack. This was the reportedly their first quarrel.
Mr Mwangi is a cashier in Nyeri town.
Meanwhile, a lobby group fighting for the rights of men in the country has accused the government of entertaining domestic violence.
Maendeleo ya Wanaume lobby group yesterday said many men are having their genitals chopped off and is now a countrywide disaster.
The lobby group's statement followed reports over the last week in Nyeri where women have assaulted their men.
The lobby's chairman, Mr Nderitu Njoka, challenged the county and the country's top leadership to condemn the attacks.
"We have never heard the President or the First Lady talk about it. We have never heard political leaders condemn these acts. We feel the government is entertaining violence against men," Mr Njoka told the Nation.
Mr Njoka said from their statistics, 99 per cent of women who are perpetrators of violence against men are set free by courts for 'lack of evidence', while 99 per cent of men are jailed.
"It seems everything is against men," he said.
He spoke as the group is set to hold its second annual international day of boys in Kisumu today.
