“My brother who works in Nairobi had promised to sent Ksh10,000 to cater for part of my school fees and my younger sister who was to be admitted to form one in the same school. But when I tried to ask my father after he enrolled my sister over the balance to pay my fees attacked us in the kitchen with a hammer and a rungu which he used to hit me on the head inflicting the injuries,” Khatondi told K24 digital.
