Maria Muruni, a Wakorino woman who was caught stealing curtains and money, while reflecting on desperation, moral dilemmas, and the journey towards redemption.
Maria was a single mother, living in a small apartment in the heart of an urban neighbourhood.
Her days were a balancing act between low-wage jobs and raising her two young children. Her life was one of constant financial strain, where every penny was accounted for, and luxury was a foreign concept. It was in this context of survival that Maria's story took a turn from the ordinary to the criminal.
Maria was caught stealing curtains and money at a homestead where Maria worked part-time as a cleaner. One evening, while cleaning the home decor section, she saw an opportunity.
The homestead had good curtains, and she wanted such. Maria saw curtains she desperately needed for her children's privacy and warmth. In a moment of weakness or perhaps calculated desperation, Maria took the curtains, stuffing them into her cleaning cart.
But her theft didn't end there; she also accessed the cash drawer, taking a small amount of money, thinking it would go unnoticed. What she didn't account for was the meticulous check and cash reconciliation the mother of the house does nightly.
Both the missing curtains and the cash discrepancy were flagged, leading to an internal investigation.
The next day, confronted by the gateman, Maria denied the event. The mother of the house had read somewhere about Kiwanga doctors. So she called them, and the answer was visible instantly. Bees gathered in her arms, and she revealed all the ordeal.
Her employment was terminated, and her name was now linked with crime, a label that would follow her.
