Wednesday, March 12, 2025 - A family in Karikwe village, Kiharu, Murang’a County, is appealing to the Government for help after their daughter, Margaret Nduta Macharia, was sentenced to death in Vietnam for drug trafficking.
Nduta, 37, was convicted by the People’s Court in Ho Chi
Minh City on March 6th after being found guilty of smuggling over
two kilograms of cocaine.
She was arrested in July 2023 while transiting to Laos.
However, her family claims they only learned about her
sentencing through the internet on March 8th.
Her mother, Purity Wangari, has urged the Government to negotiate for her return.
“It was her first time traveling abroad in search of greener
pastures.”
“I beg the authorities to help bring her back, even if she
must serve her sentence in Kenya,” she said.
The family alleges she was handed the luggage containing the
drugs by a Kenyan man for delivery to a woman abroad.
They hope diplomatic efforts can allow her to serve her
sentence locally and avoid execution.
