Police officers in Bungoma are looking for a landlady reported to be the widow of late Kabuchai politician Tale Nabangi after she allegedly locked up her tenant’s children over rent arrears.
According to reports on Sunday, March 28 it indicated Catherine Malaba, the widow of the late Kabuchai politician Tale Nabangi, welded both the front door and the back while the two minors were inside the house.
The children were aged 10 and 3 years. Police said the mother was away at work when the incident happened.
Bungoma South OCS Moses Munywoki confirmed the incident noting the landlady had expressed an inhuman act by locking helpless children up over rent.
The tenant who is identified as Violet Wanjala, said she did not expect her landlady to lock the door since her business had been affected by the tough economic situation in the country.
Munywoki led other officers in breaking down the doors to free the children who had spent over five hours inside the building.
