I am just thinking poor female donkey… I mean she died three days later,
its truly a shame…why dont they switch the law and say no male donkeys to
be allowed in Nanyuki..I am sure the chaos wouldnt have been there if it was
only one male donkey and many females..?

During this time of insecurity and national disharmony, I find this article the most ridiculous piece of writing ever.
Grow up people.
Tank you. And have amture day will you?
I resided in Nanyuki for many years and we witnessed the havoc caused by the donkeys running through bars breaking tables and chairs!!! All because of the presence of female donkeys.
Banning female donkeys from entering the town was logical. The male donkeys work harder when they are alone. Once they sight a female, they are distracted and start to misbehave – feigning sickness and getting lazy etc.
Call it gender inequity or inequality or whatever it is but this ban is inevitable if it is for the sake of peace and environmental protection!!
