“I Knew My Cow Would Come Back” Grandmother Speaks After Cow and Calf Theft in Kisii
“I am an old grandmother who has lived here in Kisii for many years. That cow was not just an animal to me; it was like a member of my family. It provided me with milk, and I depended on it greatly together with its calf.”
“The day I woke up and found my homestead quiet and my cow missing, I cried so much. I knew someone had secretly taken my property. I wondered where I would get help because I am old and I do not have the strength to chase after thieves.”
“I decided to seek help from Dr Magongo to protect my property and help ensure that my belongings were safe. I believed that justice would eventually come.”
“I was not very surprised when I heard that the person who had taken my cow was found stuck on the way and could not continue. In my heart, I said, God sees everything. No one should take another person’s property by force.”
“When I saw my cow and her calf return home, I was very grateful. This is a lesson to those who take other people’s property — a person’s life can be affected because of a moment of greed.”
“As an old grandmother, I wish everyone would live in peace and respect what belongs to others.”
