MOST TOUCHING STORY: DISCRIMINATION OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY TAKEN TO ANOTHER LEVEL Last Saturday, members of a facebook group, Kipsigis Rennaisance Network (KRN) fundraised more than Kshs. 256K for a school of people with disability in Kiptagich, Olenguruone. This was part of a noble cause being projected by this group comprising of members of Kipsigis men and women from diverse background. This morning, KASS Fm aired a story of a woman who is undergoing untold agony JUST for giving birth to children with disability. She lived with her husband at the start of their marriage before he joined GSU where he got an accident that paralysed him. He was given medication and cautioned not to get his wife pregnant until he completes the medication because there was probability of siring an offspring with disability. The man took his medication and discontinued when he felt better. By then his wife, Caroline Mutai, was already in a family way. Caroline gave birth to a child, a child with disability (details of disability escaped me) When she conceived the second child the husband became violent. He blamed her for the child with the usual, you are to be blamed for this. This not from our family. The second handicapped child was born. After sometime, the first child passed away and was buried. Caroline and her kid were chased away. The husband then went to court and got an order to have the body of the kid exhumed. For 8 years now, the body is in Kaplong Mission and the order remains: she cannot bury the kid at her former husbands land! The husband remarried and is living with the new wife en Embakasi Nairobi. Kin kotuni kwonyoto, ko kitinye lagok ako tomo kosich alak ak weroton. Kass Fm listeners have decided to fundraise to buy her a piece of land to bury her kid. The help line is 0705 983 072. Carolines phone number is 0729954378
