Detectives have arrested two suspects who were found slaughtering donkeys at a thicket in Ndeiya, Kiambu County and recovered over 30 fresh carcasses of the animal.

Patrick Muiruri, 29 and Elizabeth Wangeci, 32, were arrested and two vehicles used in the transportation of the flesh in gunny bags impounded.

This followed a raid at the scene of the slaughter located at an open field within a thicket in Rwasumali village, where the beast of burden is slaughtered before finding its way to butcheries and meat spots in the city.

After slaughtering the animals, the unscrupulous traders extract boneless meat from the animal’s carcass which is sold to meat lovers in the city exorbitantly, disguised as beef fillet and other boneless chops.

No flesh is left to waste as the traders also package the donkey intestines, kidneys and other internal organs which are sold to outlets dealing in popular roadside delicacy Mutura, supu and matumbo.

The raid follows numerous complains by residents in Limuru and its environs on disappearance of donkeys which detectives have since established find their way to the the dinner tables of hapless city residents.

The two suspects are currently in custody at Ndeiya police station being processed for arraignment.

Hata Huko Europe they found out that horse meat was finding its way to supermarket shelves in popular brands za meatballs, burgers ,lasagna etc

Why don’t they just allow breeding of donkeys for their meat. Wasn’t there an abbatoir that was specifically built for the donkey meat not too long ago. Infact I should be rearing like 20 donkeys since they don’t consume a lot

Okuyo

Equids are difficult to breed. They only come on heat when there is enough to eat and give birth to only one foal at a time after a gestation of 283-342 days. It is more efficient to breed rabbits and goats for animal proteins

16

Didn’t know that, there’s a reason then for the owners to get alarmed. Since it can take like 5 years to get just two donkeys in your stable is not worth the hustle

17

Exactly. Kwanza punda ni muhimu sana kwa wamama wa ASAL areas who travel long distances for water and firewood.

horse is a delicacy in most parts, nothing new

Hata mchinku alikuwa ananunua punda moja 60K on the low side, kwa the closed abattoir that was worth 500M (allegedly) in Baringo, mogotio . The donkey skin is worth 10X more than the meat …
