Davie didn't stop with the sodomy story and he gave another shocker, the story of how street women are bundled in trucks from town into the rehab center because they cannot be taken to court since there is no law in place to cater for this issue. Davie has a nyahunyo (whip) in his office used to discipline these women when they become unruly and abusive which some is very extreme and offensive. These women are 'married' or cohabiting with street men(read men who grew in the streets as children). Once their women are taken away by city council askaris to Davie's rehab the men are informed and they take up arms including real and fake rivals commonly known as 'bonokos' to rescues their women. they very vulgar and sometimes they use unorthodox methods like stripping off their clothes to free themselves from Davie's compound. But Davie has come to adopt to this life and to supplement the nyahunyo Davie is well built and once in a while in the line duty is forced to punch some sense into these men and women. in one such a case the men came to rescue these women and Davie was kidnapped and almost killed him but he was able to convince the driver of one the vehicles they were using that they were being tracked and will just be a matter of minutes before they were rounded up.
Anyway Davie was finally rescued and he is safe and sound and if there is someone who deserves jeff's capital talk bench is Davie.
But the issue leading to his capture still remains and as such we need to speak them out we need to pressure the city council of Nairobi to act and clean up the streets using the money we pay as license fee for safe business environment though its unsafe as ever, we must pressure the council put more rehabs for elderly members of the street families, with the parking fee which can not even guarantee the security of your vehicle. And finally clean up the garbage that is both an eyesore cum employment creator for these families.
The street families do the council work of separating the recyclables and nons yet they cant assimilate them in formal employment and give them a decent livelihood. All their lives they have known taka as a resource its what feeds them. The council should support their efforts by setting up recycling plants that will buy the recycling material at fair price and employ some of them in these plants.
The children should be rescued early enough from the streets to save them from a definite trauma and harsh living conditions the government should put in place policy on the homeless.
The reason whys i called these series of faith and hope, the faces of the children who have willingly decided to change gives this story an otherwise dull a positive at twist. Children always have a face that makes everything look easy and simple. Their faces don't complain they just grow and they are open to opportunities, advice, wise counsel they need your help to see their dreams come true. So if you find deep down in yourself you have the heart to help, you don't have necessarily to come to kayole there are other needy children in children homes scattered across town pass by, it may be a word of counsel,encouragement, or material,'or even help in home work. You will have left a mark in that child's life and in due time you will be rewarded by the one who sees even in secret.
Tomorrow will look at why previous noble intervention did work as remedy to get rid of the street families off the streets
