“Mpango wa kando asipokuja najiua” last words of Duncan’s father before taking poison.
Duncan Ratemo painfully recounted how his father’s mpango wa kando ruined the lives of his family.
Speaking to Citizen TV’s Lulu Hassan, Ratemo said his father lost his senses after he started having an affair with a neighbour.
Ratemo noted that his father stopped caring for their family because of the side chick and this caused his mother to be depressed.
Ratemo’s mother ultimately took poison and was admitted to hospital. Unfortunately she died and left a huge bill.
His dad got a loan to pay the hospital bill. He later sold part of his land and used the money to buy a motorbike.
However, the person who loaned Ratemo’s dad the money to pay the hospital bill was irked by him as he didn’t replay him when he sold the land.
The lender stormed their and seized the motorbike. Amid the financial woes facing Ratemo’s father, the mpango wa kando also abandoned him.
Ratemo’s father became depressed because he was obsessed with the side chick. He kept on begging her to come back but she refused saying that this family was a family of misfortunes.
One day, Ratemo was sent by his father to call the mpango wa kando who was their neighbour as he had missed him a lot and wanted to have good time with her.
Ratemo recalled that his dad when he sent him to fetch the side chick he told him that if she did not come he was going to take poison.
However, the side chick replied saying that she did not care if Ratemo’s father took poison or not.
After the reply, Ratemo’s father put poison in a cup, called his son while holding a panga (machete). He warned him against getting close to him. He took poison as his son watched.
Ratemo ran outside while screaming for help. Although the neighbours took his father to the hospital, he did not survive.
Duncan Ratemo: Baba yetu alianza kututesa wakati mpango wa kando alipokuja kukaa nasi; upendo wake kwetu ulikuwa ni kama umekwisha.. Alikuwa akishughulikia mpango wake wa kando na watoto wake bora kuliko sisi #SemaNaCitizen @LuluHassan pic.twitter.com/scjHYsovuO

Duncan Ratemo: Wakati mpango wa kando alikataa kumuona baba baada ya tukio la pikipiki, alianza kunywa pombe. Siku moja aliniita chumbani kwake na kuniambia anataka kujiua. Alikunywa sumu hiyo na baadaye akafa hospitalini #SemaNaCitizen @LuluHassan pic.twitter.com/lP6zBCxtWu
