Patricia Kakayi
Patricia Kakayi, a 22-year-old mother has had it quite rough on her life's journey.
The woman recently decided to share her story.
Speaking with New Vision, the Kenyan woman was struggling to
breastfeed her malnourished set of twins, could not hold back her tears
as she narrated her ordeal.
She said it all began when she got pregnant and the man responsible was not willing to support her.
"He went to Kampala looking for a job and I never heard from him again," she says.
Desperate and naive, Kakayi decided to leave Mbale, where she
stayed, and travel to Kampala in the hope of reuniting with the father
of her daughter or maybe get a job to make ends meet.
However, things did not turn out as expected because she landed in
the hands of a despicable man called Fred, a security guard who promised
her, as they say, heaven-on-earth.
Fred, Kakayi and her daughter lived at Namuwongo in a one-roomed
house with a curtain in the middle to separate the sitting space from
the sleeping area.
"Everything was fine until the beast in Fred came out. Every
night he came and forced himself on me. When I resisted, he threatened
to throw me out," she recalls.
Kakayi adds that Fred would introduce her as his sister and refused
her to reveal to anyone that he used to have sexual intercourse with
her.
And when she got pregnant, Fred told her to abort. She refused to
take that path. As a result, Kakayi was forced to become the breadwinner
because Fred had stopped looking after them.
"Given my condition, I had to wash people's clothes in order to
put food on the table and save some money to cater for the hospital
bills," she says.
Kakayi says she gave birth to twins but Fred never showed up at the
hospital. In fact, he even denied being the twins' father and
threatened to run away.
"When I returned from the hospital, Fred had remarried," she recalls.
Today, Kakayi stays with a friend, together with her four-year-old
daughter who is starting school next year and her one-year-old twin
boys.
She Kakayi earns about sh2,000 daily from selling food, which job
she says she is soon losing because her boss claims it is making losses.
