Residents of Nyaturubo in Taracha, Kisii County are in shock after a woman abandoned her husband on grounds that he is infested with jiggers.
Locals said the man, Philip Aming’a, has been living alone after his wife Maggy Aming’a and their three children abandoned him due to the condition.
“Aming’a has been cooking for himself after his wife and the three kids they sired together abandoned him claiming he is dirty,” said Dan Moseti, a local.
Another local, Elijah Ongoro claimed that Maggy has even ordered his two sons and a daughter not to send any money to ailing Aming’a.
“Aming’a elder son Douglas is in the USA, his second born son is a police officer while his daughter Joyce is a primary school teacher but, it is unfortunate that none of them is caring about their father who struggled to pay their school fees,” said Mr. Ongoro.
Reached for a comment Mr. Aming’a urged his wife to return home to look after him.
“My wife should come back home with my children to take care of me since I’m old,” he said.
The local chief Zachary Obutu condemned the woman for misleading Aming'a's children, for the man had struggled to put his children where they are right now.
