If she is returned to Kenya M.s Wanjohi fears that her daughter and herself could be forced to go through female genital mutilation and persecution at the hands of the Mungiki. They also fear the real possibility of being arrested and ill-treated by the Kenyan authorities as deported asylum seekers..
There is evidence that the Mungiki organisation seeks to impose FGM and other forms of violence, on women and children other than those who have been initiated into their sect. In particular, such women and children include the wives, partners, children and other female family members of those men who have taken the Mungiki oath. Insufficient protection is available from the Kenyan authorities for such persons.
