Kenyan Woman Wanted for Burglaries in Nairobi, Abroad Arrested at JKIA
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested a Kenyan woman described as the most wanted burglar across Africa.
Margaret Waithira Kamande, who is wanted by authorities in several African countries, was arrested on Thursday at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) as she prepared to travel to Tanzania.
“Ms. Margaret Waithira Kamande, a notorious house breaker was today arrested by DCI Detectives while trying to board a flight to Dar es Salaam,” DCI says in a tweet.
Police say Waithira has been captured on several CCTV cameras breaking into apartments and offices within Nairobi.
She allegedly runs a network of burglary activities within and without the country and is on the list of Interpol's most wanted persons.
“She is also wanted by Interpol, Zimbabwe & other East African countries after she jumped bail which was granted by a Zimbabwean court in offenses related to burglary and stealing. She had been on the run until her arrest,” DCI adds.
Police have also linked her to the killing of an AP officer who was shot dead at Blue Hut hotel while responding to an insecurity call.

@ ndugu Imara, I was reading yesterday in the Daily Nation that crimes perpetrated by women are on the increase in Kenya. Even before this "study" came out,just by reading in the media, one gets the same impression. Too bad.Sasa if it gets inthe trend of mama na baba wote ni wezi, who will nurture watoto.Not to mention that watoto would follow the same career choice,them we will become a country of thieves... hate to think of the outcome.

Tumefikia kiwango ambacho kila Mkenya ni lazima achangie (contribute) kwenye suluhisho (solution) ya matatizo mengi tuliyo nayo ya ajabu na mengine ya kutisha.
Nilipokuwa kijana (miaka mingi iliyopita) kulikuwa na matajiri na pia maskini nchini. Lakini, tofauti iliyopo sasa ni kuwa matajiri wanaendelea kutajirika na maskini wanaendelea kuwa masikini sana.
Hebu tazama, tumesoma leo kwenye Mwakilishi jinsi wanabunge walijipatia pesa za kulipia mahali wanapokaa kwa siri hata mweka hazina (treasurer) hakujua! Ndugu unajua hapa Marekani, unapopata kazi, ni lazima wewe mwenyewe ujue mahali utakapokaa mradi uwe kazini saa inayotakikana. Wanabunge wanaishi katika Kenya nyingine na wananchi wa kawaida wanaishi katika Kenya nyingine ambayo tofauti iliyopo ni kama mchana na usiku!
Kuna visa vingi vya uporaji wa mali ya umma, wizi, ujambazi, utapeli, uongo, ubakaji, na uhalifu mwingi ambao sote twajua.
Wakati umefika sasa kila Mkenya ajitoe kutafuta suluhisho ili nchi yetu ijulikane kwa wema duniani kote wala si kwa uchapishaji wa pesa bandia (fake money) kama tunavyoona sasa.
"MTOTO UMLEAVYO, NDIVYO AKUAVYO." Ni lazima wazazi wa siku zijazo waishi maisha mema kwa kutoa mfano mzuri kwa watoto ili wasije wakawa matapeli na majambazi kama wazazi wengi wa sasa.

While Eliud Kipchoge is breaking records in the fields you're breaking your records by breaking into other peoples houses! Indeed,Kenya is a country of champions! Both Kamande & Kipchoge should feature in the Guiness book of records!
