Family seeks help to reunite with lost child

A family in Mkongani, Kwale county, is seeking help from the county assembly to get back their child. The family says the girl is living with a Maasai elder in Tanzania. The six-year-old went missing on August 8, 2010, according to the petition tabled in the assembly on Tuesday by MCA James Dawa, on behalf of Luvuno Chilelwa. Chilelwa said he has been looking for the girl for four years and was informed about her whereabouts by businessman Mkala Mkaa, who visits Tanzania. The girl’s parents reportedly separated when she went missing as the mother accused her father of trafficking her.
