The story of Dorothy Muoma, a former Kitale court magistrate, who ended up in the streets of Kitale after suffering mental illness. One day she was suspended from her work, walked out of courtroom hoping she would walk back again, only to be dismissed after some time.As result she lost her house, cars, banks came calling, property sold, left with nothing but hope. Friends deserted her, colleagues ignored her, people she helped laughed at her, relatives nowhere to be seen, the church didn’t care, and that’s how depression kicked in.With nowhere to run to she ended up in the streets speaking to herself, throwing hands in the air, and running even when no-one is chasing her. Unfortunately she lost her life in the streets. Let’s be our brothers and sisters keeper, maybe that one phone call, that visit, that word of encouragement will save someone from going into depression. May Wanyos remember his people.
