Drama unfolded at the Busia County Headquarters yesterday after an old woman climbed a tree in her quest to speak to the area Governor, Sospeter Ojaamong and complain about the high cost of living.
According to
onlookers, the woman who was carrying a paper bag climbed the tree demanding to
speak to Ojaamong and threatened to kill herself if her request was not granted.
A crowd
gathered at the Governor’s office to enjoy the drama as it unfolded and that is
when the woman started stripping forcing the police to intervene and plead with
her to come down promising to give her time to speak with the Governor.
However, as
soon as she was down, she was arrested and taken to Busia Police Station. Efforts
by police officers at the station to control her were fruitless - she ran and
climbed to the roof top of the police station.
This time round
she said in Kamba dialect that she was not going to be fooled and she would not
come down until she receives some money for upkeep.
The area police
boss said that they devised a trick and gave her Sh. 4,000 to convince her to
come down after which they rearrested her bringing an end to the 2hour comedy.
She will be arraigned in court today.
