A man who claims to have been sodomised by a Catholic priest two years ago now wants a court to allow him to prosecute a private criminal case against the cleric.

The complainant, a former worker of Father Renato Kizito, is accusing the Catholic priest of molesting him sexually twice.

He has filed an application asking a Nairobi court to allow him pursue the case through private prosecution.

The man worked for the priest as a gardener from 2007 and was later promoted to be his personal secretary.
