Residents in Tiaty, Baringo County were treated to unexpected ‘ceremony’ today when they went to receive relief food, only to be given alcohol by Chinese nationals.
The incidence happened at Katikit Mixed Boarding Primary School where they received the treatment by Chinese Company, Ghuanshan International Mining Company Limited.
Their banner read, “Relief food to Tiaty, committee to save life.”
The company had brought 20 cartons of beer and 24 cans, which caused a scuffle as the hundreds of residents struggled each to have the lion’s share.
