Kiambu Woman Representative Gathoni wa Muchoba (pictured) has urged young girls to keep off sponsors who are busy offering them as human sacrifice.
“Let me warn women to be wary of those they associate with in the name of love because they might end up being offered as sacrifices by devil worshippers who do it to get riches,” said Wamuchoba at Wangige Primary School over the weekend.
“1 Timothy 6:10 says that, For the love of money is the root of all evils, which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows,” she added.
Gathoni advised young women from humble backgrounds not to be lured with money and flashy lifestyles, but focus instead on their education and avoid taking shortcuts such as dating sponsors for money.
She urged parents to be close to their children to help them make the right choices in life. She termed the recent killings as a wake-up call to young women.
“We as parents should know what our children are doing and most importantly, the kind of friends they have,” she advised.
The recent murders of young girls has been associated with relationships with older men who are described as “sponsors”.
Kenyans have expressed their concern with the rate at which young women are lured with money and end up victims of murder such as the recent Okoth obado and sharon otieno case.
Sharon Otieno was raped, stabbed multiple times and left to bleed to death in the bush by her abductors, postmortem results have shown.
Detectives and government scientists have finally confirmed, to the highest degree known to science, that the baby boy ripped from Ms Sharon Otieno’s womb was Okoth Obado’s, thus putting the Migori governor at the heart of investigations into the abduction and killing of the university student.
Monica Kimani’s allegations about her relationship with South Sudanese politician and former warlord Daniel Awet Akot has also gone on the spotlight.
Close relatives and friends had claimed that the deceased was in a relationship with the politician and it is through this connection that the family’s fortunes have improved over the past three years.
Reports revealed that Akot, who was then governor, liked her so much that she rose through the ranks in his office.
