A baby boy aged between 2 - 4 weeks was found abandoned on the road at Mwamogesa, Nyatieko Mosocho, Kisii County on Sunday morning.

Area assistant chief Enock Nyangena confirmed the incident and said a search has been launched to arrest the woman who abandoned the minor.

“We are not able to establish the reasons why the mother to the child abandoned him but with the help of residents, we have launched a search to arrest the suspect,” said the local administrator. 

He said the baby was taken to Kisii Teaching and Referral hospital’s children unit as the search for the parents is ongoing. 

“The parents of the child once found will be arraigned in court to be charged over child negligence,” he added. 

Nyangena urged parents not to throw their children because once found, a serious legal action will be taken against the suspects.
