A mother in Migori
county shocked residents after putting up her two daughters for sale on
Wednesday, February 26.
According to Nation, the 23-year-old mother claimed she was
overwhelmed with the responsibilities of raising the daughters after their
fathers flee.
The woman says she sired the two children with different men
who left her to raise the kids alone. One of the daughters is four years, and
the other one is two.
She has now opted to sell the daughters for Sh400,000 and
buy land where she will settle with her male children.
“I have been through difficult situations with these
children after siring them with different men. I have decided to sell the young
girls for KSh 400,000 and buy land where I can settle with their male
siblings,” she said.
Before settling on the decision to sell her daughters, the
mother claims she tried asking for help from well-wishers, but no one came to
her aid.
She says they have been living in makeshifts, and there are
days they would sleep without eating any food.
“No one seems to welcome me anymore. I lack shelter, and I
have been living in makeshifts with the children and sometimes going without
food. I would be very happy if I get someone to buy my two daughters,” she
added.
The woman was, however, picked up by police and taken to the
Migori police station.
