Ian-Harriel Kowiti, who hails from Uriri Constituency in Migori
County, says he’s tired of living in squalor and poverty, and has opted
to raise cash by selling one of his testicles.
Kowiti, who tried his hands in politics in the last General Election
as an independent candidate, is also willing to part with one of his
kidneys for Sh1.5 million for ‘a local client,’ and three times that
amount for ‘client’ based outside the country.
“What is the need of having two of them (testicles) dangling between
my legs if I can still do the job perfectly with just one?” Kowiti posed
in an interview with The Nairobian.
“Imagine that there is someone out there who can’t have a child for
one reason or another. I just want to share what I have, for a little
profit of course! I’m tired of being broke, yet I don’t need two
testicles!” Kowiti said.
Kowiti says that he’s selling his testicles to better his life.
However, he explains that money is not the motivation for selling his
kidney.
“A doctor friend confirmed to me that you can lead a healthy and
fulfilling life with just one kidney. It pains me that there is someone
out there who is suffering because of kidney failure and has to spend so
much money on dialysis. I have two functioning kidneys, and I consider
it the right thing to do to give out one,” he explained.
Kowiti added that, “I wouldn’t mind donating my kidney, it’s only
that I am now financially constrained and wouldn’t mind some cash in
exchange for the organ. If I were to donate my kidney, the interested
party would have to cater for the cost of surgery and my travel
expenses, that is if the operation has to take place outside the
country.”
Though a man can still lead a healthy sex life with one testicle, medics have dismissed the idea of harvesting testicles.
