Download Why are some elderly people being accused of being witches and attacked in Kenya?
For most people in Africa the elderly are respected for their age, wisdom and life experience. And cared for by their children, grandchildren and community.
But contradicting this tradition are horrific cases of elder abuse revealed by the BBC’s Africa Eye team in their latest investigation.
Haki Yetu, a local human right organisation, say at least one elderly person is killed every week in Kilifi County after being accused of being a witch.
Africa Daily Alan Kasujja speaks to Julius Wanyama from Haki Yetu, about the plight of the elderly people targeted in Kilifi County.
