MAASAI WATCHMEN

There were times when robbery was so rampant in my hometown Busia. Most shops were broken into and a lot of property was stolen and huge sums of money would also be stolen in the process. In 2007 my own shop was broken into and a refrigerator plus ksh 55,00 got stolen. Those times were very painful times because no one knew what would strike at night fall.
At the peak of this persistent situation my cousin informed m about the massai watchmen who were viewed to be very good and faithful watchmen compared to our common watchmen who had no weapon and were very tricky because at times they would sneak back to their homes sleep and then come back early in the morning. So i re sought to try the idea and employed a Masai watchman and this same idea got into the entire town and most business operators employed them.
With time we realized that the problem was going slow as some of this thugs or robbers wounded by arrows that this watchmen used and would later be arrested. Since coming of this maasai watchmen, the cases of robbery have declined significantly.
