The mother of three has moved to the children’s court seeking orders compelling her former husband to take responsibility for their three sons. Through her counsel Joyce Maganda, the complainant informed Principal Magistrate Daisy Mosse that her ex-husband had deserted their matrimonial home from January this year, and ever since had Donkey endangered species in Kitui County, says top vet TEACHERS SERVICE COMMISSION S/NO TENDER NO; S/NO TENDER NO; 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 If donkey welfare actors do not respond, the animal will be wiped out in the next decade, says veterinary doctor BY YOBESH ONWONG’A KNA, MWINGI D onkey owners have decried the surge in theft of the animals across Kitui County associated with illegal demand for their skin in China’s black market. The beasts of burden are often smuggled out of the county and killed to feed the rising export of donkey skins which is carried out in collusion with unscrupulous skin traders in Kenya. Speaking to Kenya News Agency in Mwingi last Thursday, Dr Joseph Kamwonzo, Kitui County veterinary officer said if donkey welfare actors do not respond, the animal will be wiped out in the next decade. Meanwhile, Mwingi Central Donkey Owners chairman Samwel Mulonzya condemned the proposed commissioning of the Kithyoko donkey abattoir on the Mwingi-Garissa highway, which is in Machakos but close to Kitui county. Mulonzya observed that allowing the construction will fuel illegal skinning, smuggling and theft of donkeys across county borders. The concerns coincide with a policy blueprint on donkey ownership is currently before the Kitui County Assembly for debate. The policy aims at providing appropriate legislation to protect the welfare of the beast of burden from abuse. “The construction of a donkey abattoir in Kithyoko, which falls under Machakos County, is a sure indication that the slaughter house is targeting donkeys from Kitui County as its catchment area,” said the Veterinary Officer. Commenting on the economic importance of donkeys, Esther Mutua, a donkey owner from Kyuso said the slaughter house will destroy their livelihoods. “They receive least consideration in comparison to other species of livestock and their welfare is often quite neglected because they are usually the cheapest, often the only affordable working animal and therefore tend to be associated with the poor,” said Mrs Mutua.
