It has been established that men from Kajiado county most of whom are from the Maasai community are abandoning their wives for women from other communities.
According a report by K24 Digital, the Kajiado men are said to be on a mission to find out the difference between the women who have undergone the FGM cut and those that have not.
One of the men who sought anonymity told K24 Digital that Maasai men mainly go for women in the region’s urban centers thus leaving in their wives languishing in poverty.
“I am a polygamous man of four wives but since I sampled an urban woman, I have not been able to resist having a concubine in town. I can confidently tell you that men from our community whom they say have gone missing from their homes are busy sampling women in these towns. They want to know the difference between uncut and cut women. That’s it,” he said.
This comes after a group of women from Ildamat area in Kajiado Central stormed Duka Moja Centre in search for their men who had not been seen at home for a while.
According to K24 Digital, the women who had armed themselves ready to attack women hosting their husbands said that their men are selling livestock and land then flee to towns and misuse the resources with other women while their families suffer back in the rural villages.
“The only time my husband comes home is when there is an incident or a sick family member. Nowadays he only orders for cattle, sheep or goat to be taken to the market where he is for sale. Once he sells, he only buys maize flour and pockets the other money for his leisure use. The level of immorality among our men has reached a notch higher,” said one of the women.
The women complained that their men are no longer interested in fulfilling conjugal rights back at home pointing out something is wrong.
” We fear these women are even using charms on our men just to confuse them and mint money from them,” another one said.
