Tensions escalated in Kiamachongo village, Kisii County, when elderly parents took drastic action and demolished their son’s home.
Why did Kisii parents demolish son’s house?
The conflict reportedly arises from an ongoing land dispute involving Arati Momanyi, his wife, and their children.
According to Citizen Digital, the situation in Kiamachongo village took a dramatic turn when Arati Momanyi and his wife began demolishing the mud house of one of their sons.
This drastic action followed allegations that the son had threatened their lives and accused them of practicing witchcraft.
Area Chief Dickson Omaywa provided further context, explaining that land disputes between Momanyi and his three sons have been a recurring issue, contributing to an increasingly unsafe environment at the homestead.
The tensions have reportedly escalated to the point where the sons are allegedly plotting to kill their father in order to inherit the family land.
In a poignant and difficult statement, Momanyi expressed his bewilderment and distress over the situation.
He questioned why the children he had raised and cared for were now turning against him and his wife.
He also sought clarification from the government, asking whether it was acceptable for elderly individuals to be labeled as witches simply because of age.
Momanyi’s remarks underscore his deep sense of injustice and confusion about being pushed off his land by his own family.
Kenyan man says they always fight with father
In a separate incident, a young man took to social media to seek advice about his troubled relationship with his father.
The man, whose name was kept private, shared his story of a strained father-son relationship that has been ongoing for several years. At 23 years old, he recounted how every attempt at communication with his father resulted in disagreements, making peaceful coexistence impossible.
The constant conflicts led the young man to move out of the family home in 2019, and he has not returned since.
His relationship with his father remains unresolved, leaving him feeling confused and heartbroken as he reaches out for guidance on how to address the ongoing estrangement.
