My name is Grace Gachoi I want to share an experience i had with thugs
on 10/09/2011
It all begun on Saturday 10th. Me my husband mbugua and our baby
girl decided to go and see our land that that we had bought at juja
farm. The land is located 8 kilometers off the Thika super high way from
juja. It was around 2pm and we stay at kikuyu. So we enter our white
Toyota NZE which my husband bought a week before at a car yard along
Ngong road Nairobi... let me take you back a bit to the day we bought
the car... When we bought the car my husband who is so keen on security
decided to go and install an alarm to chase away would be thieves. When
we were there a man came and introduced himself as mwaura just after
we had finalised the deal and advised us instead of putting the alarms
we should instead install a tracking device on the vehicle. He further
advised us that we should not go to the well established offices that
they would charge high prices for the tracking device. We took his
number and told him that we would get back to him as he was offering to
install a tracking device at only 12,000/= shillings. He even gave us
directions to where we can get him at Ngara. We decided to shop other
companies to find out the truth and found out they charge 25000/= to
35000/= for the tracking device. We decided that since these companies
were expensive we should go for Mwauras tracking devices as they offer
more features. My husband called Mwaura the following day and decided to
install a tracking device from him although he had no office and i guess
no papers to do the work. We reached at Ngara where he installed a
tracking device and showed my husband how to track using his phone he
even accepted 6000/= as down payment the rest were to pay in 30 days.
We were satisfied knowing that our car was safe and knew we had gotten
the best bargain....ok back to our story we reached juja farm around
5.30 pm as we had stopped at a club called By pass in for some meat. We
started viewing our land interviewing people to know the current value
of our land. We were so happy as we had bought the land for 30,000/= in
2002 and now the land was valued at 350,000/=. We hadn't been here for
some time so we stayed for some time. As we were viewing other pieces of
land in the area my husband told me that some men who passed us looked
familiar but we ignored. We finished our business and decided to head
back home as it was getting late. We started our journey back home and
as we were going thru that dirty road so as to join the high way our car
suddenly stopped. We wondered why it happened as it was quarter tank and
the car had been serviced. When it stopped my husband opened the bonnet
to check what was wrong. On opening the bonnet the car with three men
stopped besides us and pointed the gun to my husband. I was about to
scream when all over sudden the second man pointed a knife at me. I kept
quite and the two men ordered as in the car. One man used his phone to
start the car and all of us drove off. I guess someone with the codes
stopped the car. At the time i just held my baby close to me as one man
was busy molesting me. My husband had been bundled in the boot. We drove
for what seemed to be eternity to a secluded place where the thieves
stopped. The thieves opened the bonnet and removed a tracking device
right in front of my face. It's like they had all the information on the
tracking gadget. They stripped us and one of the thugs tied us together
and they went with our baby. This was after they raped me for a few
minutes. We were left there for some time .my husband was unconscious by
then as they had beaten him. We stayed there the whole night and in the
morning a passerby rescued us. We were rushed to thika district hospital
after which we ended up in Kenyatta as my husband had major injuries. I
was the first to be discharged and started looking for our baby.
Fortunately we found her at a police station abandoned having been
brought by a Good Samaritan. My husband was discharged two weeks later,
we are now recuperating. We went to the police station and on trying to
reach mwaura his mteja all this time we have never found our car despite
reporting to the police. The investigation are ongoing and cant divulge
a lot of info now but What i have been told is that there is a cartel of
thugs installing tracking devices in ngara and hurlingam, ngong road
e.t.c. . What i can't understand is who is licensing people to start
tracking as the other day my friend told me a colleague where she work
buys tracking devices and install in people cars. I thought this is a
security issue and the government should vet tracking companies. I was
told they are supposed to be vetted by cck but who goes around
checking. MWAURAS COMPANY WAS CALLED SIMBA TRACK does cck know of such a
company or any security agency If any tom dick hurry can order units
from china and install in our car how safe are we . This is a security
issue and should be treated with the seriousness it deserves I BLAME THE
GOVERMENT FOR NOT PROTECTING ME . I BLAME THE GOVERMENT FOR RAPING ME
AND I BLAME THE GOVERMENT FOR LETTING THUGS DUISGUSE THEMSELF AND STEAL
FROM US. Does it mean security business are not vetted and all this
individuals should be known i.e banks HOPE NOBODY EVER SUFFER THIS FATE
JUST BE CAREFUL WHICH COMPANY INSTALLS THE TRACKING UNITS OR OFFERS
SECURIITY THEY MAY BE THE THIEVES I want answers and Kenyans need
protection
--
May the Living God prosper Hundred Fold SHG in this world and finally grant us to live with Him for eternity.
