Things came to a head when a student at Masinde Muliro
University of Science and Technology, who has been benefiting from five
‘sponsors’ was unmasked.
Roseanne, a curvy third year student, was left with egg on
her face after the five men she has been dating her met in her house and
resolved to walk away with goods they had bought her.
The five bumped into each other at her rented house in
Mwiyala last Wednesday, each coming for ‘quality’ time.
According Roseanne’s neighbours, a senior employee of the
County Government of Kakamega’s revenue department was the first to arrive at
around 5.30pm.
“She was preparing tea for the revenue officer when a banker
from Kisumu walked in with a quarter kilo of beef. She served the two men tea
and came to my house to disclose that she didn’t know what to do or tell them,”
said Alice Nekesa, a neighbour.
Two other ‘sponsors’ came visiting some 30 minutes after the
revenue and accountant had finished taking tea.
Panicking that things could run out of hand, Roseanne called
her new catch, a police officer stationed at Kakamega Central Police Station to
come to her aid.
“When the police officer arrived, he told the other four
that he was the man of the house by virtue of paying this month’s Sh15, 000
rent and demanded to know what they were doing in his house,” Nekesa said.
The other men laid bare their input to claim the lady.
“Denno (the banker) told them that he was the one who bought the bed, cupboard,
a heavy density mattress and bed sheets in the house as the revenue officer
pointed at select furniture in the sitting room as his property,” Cynthia
Wanjiku, a friend to Roseanne said.
The police was adamant that they all leave until one of the
men, a high school teacher calmed him down and whispered: “My brothers this
girl conned us and we will be counted as fools if we fight over that. The only
way to save face is to carry away everything each of us bought for her and move
on.”
James Ouko, a caretaker of the house, said the men packed up
furniture, a TV set and beddings and went their way. The girl had by this time
ran away to avoid the embarrassment from the neighbours and the public.
They carried everything from the house, and one demanded
Sh15,000 deposit he paid when he moved the sex siren to the house.
