Here is why -
This happened when a young boy who was herding was unable to control the huge number of cattle from destroying crops. The owner of the farm decided to attack the young herder using a machete with no second thought. The case was reported to the police but according to the victim's neighbours no action has been taken against the attacker. The boy is recuperating in Witu Hospital.
