There was drama in Busia when a man threatened to divorce for losing maize flour.
The incident occurred in Mauko village Busia county.
Reports indicate that the man bought 4 kilogrammes of maize and sent his wife to the posho mill but she mistakenly took cassavas and came home with the flour.
Sources reveal that all was well until the man was served with cassava flour ugali.
So annoyed by the act, the husband faced his wife demanding for an explanation as to why he was not having 'Ovusuma' as his meal.
Efforts by his wife to have him calm down did not go too well as he threatened to beat her up.The thirty minutes melee caught the attention of neighbours who watched in dismay.
Village elders had to intervene in the matter and concluded that the posho mill owner and the woman who mistakenly took the floor pay back the 4 kilogrammes of maize each.
“He should be responsible for the safety of his customers’ properties,” he said.
He further said that it was a huge loss to him at the time when the maize prices are still costly for a common Mwananchi.
