Police in Kanduyi Constituency in Bungoma County is investigating an incident in which a man was caught red-handed in the act with a cow.

Ms Christine Wekesa, who is the owner of the cow, said that the man, whose identity cannot be revealed due to the sensitivity of the matter, was caught pants down with the herbivores.

The incident occurred at Bukusu Village, Tuuti/ Marakaru ward in Bungoma County and has attracted condemnation from across the country.

Ms Wekesa narrated that the cow was taken by her son to the fields for grazing but was later found tied to a tree.

“I was informed by a section of villagers including the elder that my cow had been found tied on both legs with manila ropes to a tree,” she told local media on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 25, 2023.

She asked the police to ensure they arrested the man so he could purchase another cow for her.

The man was caught in the act by a local known as Mr Igantius Khisa, who said that he fled immediately he heard footsteps.

“To be honest, at first I did not know what the man was up to, when I started moving towards him, he heard footsteps and fled as he pulled his pants upwards,” said Mr Khisa.

Nairobi News has established that, as per the Bukusu community, a cow is considered an abomination if kept at home.

It is to that effect that Ms Wekesa demanded that the suspect is arrested and asked to buy her another cow.

Three years ago, still in the same county, a man confessed to having ‘made love’ to a neighbour’s female goat after women rejected him.

Goat owner Richard Wanyonyi said he caught Gabrielle Simiyu, 26, in action when he checked the shed at his Nangwe village home.
