Farmers in Murinduko's Karuangi village Mwea, Kirinyaga County, are counting losses after monkeys invaded their farms.
"We fear that the destruction of our crops will subject us to hunger," a resident told a local television station. Villagers in mwea are calling on the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to intervene and tame the monkeys to prevent the loss of their farm produce.
"The mischievous monkeys go as far as stealing food from our homes. Their population keeps rising," Susan Wanjiru, a resident, said.
Njuki Nyaga, a farmer in the village, says that the residents risk starvation if the monkeys continue to cause havoc on their farms

in other news, Amin Mohamed, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) chief, joined detectives on Wednesday at the Redwood Apartments in Kasarani, where interior designer Geoffrey "Jeff" Mwathi died mysteriously in late February.
The boss and his investigators attempted to reconstruct the crime scene, where young Jeff was said to have died while visiting famous Kikuyu musician DJ Fatxo's house. It comes ahead of Mwathi's body being exhumed on Friday to fill in the gaps about the cause of his death.
"During the restructuring, the DCI Headquarters Homicide squad and Crime Scene persons from the DCI National Forensic Laboratory decided to seek to identify gaps that the exhumation is expected to fill once DNA and Toxicology analyses are completed," the DCI stated in a statement.
Mohamed wishes the investigation into Ngugi's death to be completed as soon as possible to determine if there was any foul play.
On February 22, Ngugi, Lawrence Njuguna, reportedly fell from the 10th-floor window of DJ Fatxo's Redwood apartment while partying with his friends.
According to reports, Ngugi met with the entertainer hours earlier to discuss a paid interior design job DJ Fatxo had for him.
