A 23 year old feted in Murang'a

 Twenty three year old was celebrated in Murang’a town after he captured a 11 feet python.

Eston Kimani who has in the past captured two other reptiles moved into action after Kenya Wildlife Rangers (KWS) took a long to provide a solution.

Kimani was called by the residents to assist in tracing the snake which was barely 300 metres from the KWS camp.

He arrived as the KWS rangers were contemplating killing the reptile, as they could not trace it.

Kimani recounted how he struggled to capture the reptile and blocked it from heading back to its hide out.

“I struggled to capture through the tail and assisted to take it to the KWS camp for custody,” he said as he recounted the 4 pm incident.

Kimani said he was interested to join KWS due to his interest with reptiles.

A resident Peter Chege said the government should consider employing Kimani as he was of much help to the locals when need arose.

“The young man has been instrumental in capturing reptiles which are rare in Murang’a town. He should be appreciated due to his dedication and effort,” said Chege, a resident of Kandundu village.
