My name is Grace Gachoi i want to share an experience i had with thugs on
09/07/2011
It all begun on Saturday 9th july. 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 kilometres 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
traking 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 alot
of info now but What i have been told is that there is a cartel of thugs
installing tracking devices in ngara and hurlingamm, 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
