The woman now had decided to withdraw the charges citing that she dont want to loose time she want to go back to university to pursue journalism.
Though she denied th she have not been compensated by Kemboi but to me I didnt see a big reason why she decided to forgive him,
In my views, this woman did not help Kenyans to join hands fighting violence against women.
According to IRIN Africa, Sexual violence is increasingly prevalent in Kenya and police statistics show that more than 2,800 cases of rape were reported in 2011 - an increase of close to 500 compared to the previous year.
While here in Tanzana 60 per cent of women reported being regularly physically abused; Kenya is taking a lead from recent research on sexuality and domestic violence.

"I want to go back to university to pursue journalism and I have forgiven Kemboi out of my own free will," Reuters news agency quotes her as saying outside court.
