KISUMU, Kenya, Dec 10 — In Kisumu, ex-offenders are finding it increasingly difficult to transition into legitimate livelihoods, facing discrimination, unemployment, and lack of support as they strive to become entrepreneurs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Lawi Odero, leaving a life of crime was a difficult decision. A self-confessed \u201chardcore criminal,\u201d Odero spent years on the run, constantly evading law enforcement while engaging in robberies across Kisumu, Kisii, Kakamega, and even Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know how to handle a gun. I can even make a crude one,\u201d Odero admitted. \u201cBut after being a frequent guest at the state prison, I realized it was time to quit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odero now runs a small chicken business in Kondele, a venture he hopes will keep him afloat and inspire others to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spoke to Capital News at a meeting bringing together reformed criminals together convened by George Ayoma, who advocates for the reintegration of ex-offenders into society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ayoma, supporting reformed criminals in starting businesses is not just a quick fix\u2014it\u2019s a long-term strategy to reduce reoffending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese individuals feel discriminated against. Society struggles to trust that they\u2019ve truly reformed,\u201d Ayoma said. \u201cWithout meaningful ventures, many [are] tempted to return to crime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayoma added that ex-offenders have expressed interest in various trades, including poultry farming, carpentry, motorbike ownership, and even starting car washes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome were motorbike riders on hire. They now want to own their bikes and be independent. That\u2019s the kind of support we\u2019re seeking from the government,\u201d Ayoma explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting at Joel Omino Hospital in Nyalenda slums, over ten reformed convicts shared their stories of struggle and determination to remain law-abiding citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring change <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Odero, now living in Manyatta slums, expressed a desire to expand his business and use his story to steer young people away from crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always tell young people to avoid criminal activities. I want them to see that change [is] possible,\u201d Odero said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on his dark past, Odero recounted a harrowing experience when a mob nearly boiled him alive in a water tank before the police intervened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another attendee, 23-year-old James Oloo, shared how his family\u2019s involvement in crime affected him. With two brothers serving time at Kodiaga Maximum Prison, Oloo was drawn into a life of mugging and thuggery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat struck me most was robbing someone of a phone, only to find it was faulty. That was a wake-up call,\u201d Oloo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephen Magak, a community policing member and reformed ex-offender, stressed the importance of government intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Ministry of Interior and National Coordination must adopt policies to support reformed criminals. Without it, many will revert to their old ways,\u201d Magak said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now working with local authorities in Kondele, Magak noted that crime rates have significantly decreased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAny support to this group will change the mindset of others still stuck in criminal acts,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite their efforts, reformed criminals face backlash and rejection from family members, further isolating them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFamilies are a source of strength,\u201d said Oloo. \u201cReformation is a long process, and we need their full support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government and partner organizations have initiated programs to help ex-offenders reintegrate, but the reformists call for increased resources and policies to ensure their success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Kisumu’s reformed criminals work to rebuild their lives, they hope their stories will inspire society to embrace second chances, fostering a safer and more inclusive community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
