“Finally, we managed to rescue our boy Mwiti from Nkubu Meru. We are going to take him for medical assessment, treatment, and therapy,” Omondi stated.
“Ameishi kwa Cage for 7 years sasa tutamjengea na shosho wake a house wakue na Dignity as he continues therapy (He has lived in a cage for seven years but now we shall construct a new house for him and his grandmother to live in dignity as he undergoes therapy),” Omondi added.
