I dodged bullets that killed all my friends

David Kibali

Tell us about yourself. I grew up in Mumias and later moved to Siaya, where I spent the better part of my life. My parents separated after my father got a job in Kisumu and neglected us. My grandmother was also hostile to my mother and even branded my mother a witch. We got news months later that my father was getting married to another woman in a traditional wedding. My dad went back to the city with his new wife. We suffered a lot.

What happened next? I moved to Siaya, my maternal home and this is where my story in crime began. My mother got married to another man and had four other children.
