There was drama on Wednesday when Kyakabale, an employee of Karokarungi dairy beat up his wife over a piece of chicken. The couple live at Makerere Kavule near Makerere University. Kyakabale says he bought the chicken for visitors he was expecting. according to tradition, kyakabale says, when someone pays you a visit, you have to give him a whole chicken. It is then the visitor who serves the family. When he found the chicken cooked, he checked and found one piece missing. His wife had to tell him where that piece was. He said she must certainly know where it was since she was the one who had cooked it and there was nobody else around. Kyakabale’s wife had no explanation and that is when the heavy beating started. It took the intervention of neighbours to pacify the man. But even then he swore that his wife had to buy another chicken or leave his home. ends
