Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, a village leader identified as Tungwa Katembe shared that 11-year-old Clinton was found sleeping on the highway.
"He was just sleeping there on the highway; some herders came and found him there. When they woke him up and asked why he was there he shared his sad story that he was from Siaya and his mother was dead," said Tungwa.
According to Tungwa, Clinton is 11 years old, and he goes to Sirotha Primary School in the heart of Siaya county.

Why did Clinton leave Siaya?
"His mother died, and he doesn't know where his father is. When she died, he was left in the hands of his grandmother, and all was well for some time until she also died," said Tungwa.
"When the elderly woman died, Clinton was left in the hands of his uncle, but the man allegedly used to mistreat him badly," said the Kwale resident.
The residents of the area were speculating that the young boy was on his way to Mombasa to get some relief from a hard life.
Why are residents asking about Clinton?
At the moment, Clinton is with Joyce Muti, who can be reached on 0714499013. The chief of the location and the police know Muti has him for the time being.
"For the time being, he needs to join school, new clothes, and get some upkeep. As we work on that, we need to know who his people are so that they can help us know about him. Even if he is to remain here, then it should be done in the right way," he said.

In a different story, Baby Grace Nyaguthii disappeared from her home, and it sparked an outpouring of hope and prayer, as well as determination from her community to find her.
For eight painful days, search teams combed everywhere in and outside the village, including rivers and valleys, only to find the tiny body of the girl dumped in the Ragati River.
The development added a new layer of pain for the young mother, Eva Nymoh Mims, as she had sadly lost another child barely two years ago.
