The bodies of two little girls who were reported missing were found in a pond.
The mother of a 12-year-old girl, who had left home to visit her friend, was saddened by the sad news.
Brenda Nanjala remembered her last time with her daughter when she left home to visit a friend.
“He left home on Sunday, January 19, at 9 o'clock in the afternoon to visit his friend and play, but he did not return. I was told that they went to the Modern Railway (SGR) to take pictures while they were playing. After enjoying their time, they got on a motorcycle, and after that I don't know they went to where,” he said.
How did the Kajiado girls get lost?
The families mourning the death of the little girls were surprised by the circumstances in which the children lost their lives.
According to preliminary investigation, one girl was wearing one shoe while the other was naked.
“We asked if they had seen the little girls, and they said they had seen the children. When they asked if they were going somewhere, the children said they were not going anywhere. So they left the children there. When they returned, they did not find the children because they had gotten on a motorcycle and left,” he said.
Kajiado residents are asking for government help
One resident, Christine Karanja, said it was not the first time such a sad incident happened in the area.
Karanja expressed his concern and pain due to frequent incidents of that kind, which filled them with fear.
“We ask the government to consider us in these times and address such issues,” he asked.
Residents of Kajiado are touched by the saga of the girls found in the pond
Residents asked the government to conduct a thorough investigation into the deaths of these young children and provide a permanent solution to the problem.
Ruth Wambui, another resident, said a few days ago they had removed the body of a little girl from the quarry.
Wambui said they have not seen any changes regarding handling the sensitive and sad issue.
“We want all these quarries to be covered along with the pits in the street to ensure that such incidents do not occur again,” he said.
