Villagers in Mfangano Island to "vet" wife inheritors
Apr 04, 2025
A security administrator in Mfangano Island wants non-locals “vetted” before inheriting widows in the island. Suba West Deputy County Commissioner Samson Akach said all foreigners will be subjected to a village suitability test exercise before they are allowed to inherit any widow since they are suspected to be criminal gangs. Akach warned that criminals have invaded the island after committing offences elsewhere. Speaking at Sena village in Mfangano Island, Akatch said in Sena that the security agencies have formed committees at the village levels to vetting wife inheritors in a bid to weed out criminals and avert domestic violence. Akatch said that many widows suffer in the hands of the inheritors as they commit to them before digging deep into their personal backgrounds. He said that if it is a must for a widow to be inherited, they should engage the entire family in a serious consultation to decide on whom to inherit her within the family circle.
