MAASAI WATCHMENT

There were times when robbery was so high in my town Busia.Most shops were broken into alot of property was stolen and huge sums of money also stolen in the process.
In 2007 my own shop was broken into and a refrigerator plus ksh, 55,000got stolen.
At the peak of this persistent situation my cousin informed me about Maasai watchmen who were believed to be very faithful watchmen compared to to our common watchmen who had no weapon and were very tricky because at times they would sneek back home and were asleep,.
So I thought it wise to try this idea and employed a Maasai watchman and this same idea spread through the town  and most businesses employed them.
With time we realised that the problem was going slowly and some of these thugs or robberswold seriously wounded by arrows that this watchmen used and would be arrested.Since the coming of the Maasai watchmen,the cases of robbery have declined significantly.
