Locals of Nyambera area in Kisii County are in shock after a body of a street urchin was found dumped in a trench on Monday morning.
Patrick Onserio one of the locals said the identity of the deceased is yet to be established.
"We could not immediately identify the body of the deceased though he has been among the street urchins in the area," said Onserio.
Mr. Onserio regretted that there is currently a higher number of kids dropping school to join others in the streets.
"It is high time parents should be more vigilant to ensure young kids are not dropping school to be streets kids. Leaders as well should intervene to ensure orphans stay in school to learn by paying school fees using CF bursaries," he noted.
Area police Bernard Muli said the body of the deceased was taken to Kisii Teaching and referral hospital morgue.
"Probe has commenced to establish what caused his death. Residents should stop condoning young kids to live in streets," he said.
Muli assured that police officers will not spare young kids found loitering in streets within Kisii town.
