Kiambu - A Kiambu man has confronted a local butcher man after discovering that the seven kilograms of meat he had bought from the shop weighed significantly less.
The man from Juja explained he was surprised to find out that he had been shortchanged after unpacking the steak he bought from his local butchery in Kimbo.
Speaking to Inooro TV, Joel Waicere said upon discovering that the butchery had seemingly defrauded him, he rushed back to make complaints in anticipation he could get a satisfactory explanation and compensation.
"I took the meat and went back to the butchery. But trust me, they did not even negotiate with me. They just took the meat, and refunded my money in cash yet I had paid via M-Pesa. They then asked me to exit their premises," he said.

"I had bought seven kilograms of meat. But later on, I found out that I had less than what I had bought. It was actually 5.8 kilos," he added.
His experience ignited a conversation on social media on the daylight deception that has been happening in Kenyan butcheries.

"We also bought meat with my sister last Saturday. It was two kilograms, but when we arrived home it was 1.6kgs.
@Daniel Mwai said:
"That is why a kilogram is no longer enough for a family."
Elsewhere, police recently launched a manhunt for three men suspected of slaughtering seven donkeys in Kiahiti village in Gatune sub-location.
In a statement, the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) stated that they found seven carcasses of the beast of burden skinned and ready for sale.
DCI stated that they got intelligence of the group's action and had set up a dragnet ready to act on the three individuals.
