I went to my home town last weekend and nilikutana na former Sch mate and I was shocked by what she was going through. Nilishidwa vile nitamsaidia or which advice to give her. That’s the reason am turning to you villagers. Let’s us call her Mary.
She is married with one kid. She is first born of four. Baba yake alikufa the year she got married. Mama yake ali ndanganywa na akanunua shamba kumbe ni ya wizi. one year down the line, she decided to sell the land and pay Sch fees of her two children who were still in Sch.
She sold the shamba and the one who bought the land started developing it.
Hapo ndipo balaa ili anza. The real owner akatokea
. Yule mtu alikuwa ameuzia mama Mary shamba akatoroka from the town na simu akiwa off. The son of the real owner is in police force and someone senior in vigilant house. Mama ya wenyewe alipelekwa akafika. Mary aliongea na mwenye shamba na wakakubaliana that Mary have to buy that land from the real owner for them to drop the case. The other person who was developing the land also gave Mary conditions. One Mary refunds his money with interest or Mary anunue shamba kutoka kwa mwenyewe lakini shamba haitakuwa ya Mary itakuwa ya developer. If not that he will file a case against mama Mary juu ya kumuuzia shamba ya wizi. Sema kuwa in fix. Mary agreed with 2ND condition.
Mary is a house wife so pesa hangepata to get her mother out and pay Sch fees for her siblings. Her husband stepped in and agreed to help his in law. He had a talk with the owner and developer and asked them to be patient atafute pesa and to have his in law released. 2 yrs down the line he had saved 1.2m to pay and have the case dismissed from the court. That was in the year 2013. Mary husband said every cent he used should be counted as dowry and Mary relatives agreed.
Now out of no where Mary husband wants to be repaid all the money used. Mary Mother never recovered financially since that case. But thank God kijana amemaliza college and last born is in f4. For the last 2 months Mary is stressed coz everyday her husband is demanding his money. she is just a form four leaver it’s hard for her to get a job. before she got married alikuwa ana work and her husband convinced her to quite. She doesn’t want to stress her mother she have decided to sell her kidney and pay her husband then file for divorce,instead of him stressing her.
Villagers help her with advices.
