Mr. Matakaya

“After she poured acid on me, I tried to reach out for water but she had poured water on the floor and connected power. She wanted me to be electrocuted. I screamed for help and my neighbors took me to hospital,” he recalled. Matakaya lost his sight a little while after the attack. “Apparently, the acid continued to work on my eyes even after and it made me go blind.” Apparently, the acid content in his eyes had not been properly diluted. He was admitted at Kenyatta National Hospital from September 2013 to February 2014. He underwent 15 surgeries. Doctors did grafting, removed tissues from other parts of the body for the burns to heal from inside.

Mr. Matakaya pleaded for people to not take violence by women against men lightly. On August 25, 2019, Despite donations towards his treatments, his silver lining finally came on September 10 after he received full medical sponsorship by Face Forward International.He is now set to undergo special surgery to open up his nostrils in Beverly Hills, California.“God answered my prayers for a fully funded plastic surgery and I am in the States awaiting my surgery on Friday. I’m hopeful this one will go well,” he said.
