The groups complained that cases of thefts of donkeys in Nakuru County have increased from a maximum of five per month to 35 following the establishment of donkey abattoirs. POLICE RELUCTANT“Every now and then our organisation is receiving complaints from farmers of their donkeys having been stolen,” said Mr Raphael Kinoti, FSK CEO. Mr Kinoti added that police officers are reluctant to contain the theft of the animals since they are turning away farmers who report theft of their donkeys. The government should make it a requirement that sellers of the animals have licences in order to operate,” Mr Theuri said.
