A three months old child was found today by passers-by abandoned at a sugarcane plantation in Kaptingon B village, Kiborgok Sub location, Nandi Central.
The officer in charge of Kaimosi police station Mr Dennis Omuko, who confirmed the incident said a resident, Sarah Cherotich, reported the case after she found the baby girl in the sugar plantation.
Omuko said Cherotich tried to make inquiries and search for the baby’s parents but her efforts proved futile, and that’s when she decided to report the case at Kaimosi Police Station.
The children’s officer was informed about the incident and police have commenced their investigations to establish the parents of the baby. Its though the child’s mother resides in the region, and it’s still alarming that a parent can abandon a child like that.
