In Busia, a young man named Kenneth Lusweti has opened up about a choice that changed his life. For the past three years, he has carried the heavy weight of stealing Ksh 200,000 from his grandmother’s M-Pesa account. He says the regret now hits harder than he ever imagined.
Kenneth graduated from university full of hope. But reality was tough. No job offers came. Applications disappeared into silence. No interviews followed. Depression took hold. His mother, who raised him alone, had already died. The only close family left was his grandmother, his shosho. She ran several small businesses in Busia and people called her wealthy. To Kenneth, though, she seemed far away.
“I felt abandoned,” he said. “I saw money moving in her M-Pesa every day from her shops, while I had nothing.” One day, the pressure broke him. He knew her phone PIN because she trusted him completely. That trust turned into an opportunity he took. “I told myself it was just borrowing,” Kenneth admitted. “I took Ksh 200,000 quietly. I was sure I would pay it back after getting work.” Read more https://drbokko.com/?p=37263
