Maurine Kabu surprises her dad with a Ksh1M bouquet on his birthday
By Paulette Mboga, September 18, 2025Simon Kabu’s daughter, Maurine Kabu, has made headlines after surprising him with a bouquet worth Ksh1 million to celebrate his 51st birthday.
The gesture, which she described as a way of honouring the man who has played a central role in her life, checks the strong bond between father and daughter.
Maurine, in an Instagram post on Thursday, September 18, 2025, explained that no gift could truly match the love, sacrifice, and guidance her father has given her over the years.
In a heartfelt message, she noted that the bouquet was a symbolic expression of gratitude for everything he has done in shaping her journey.
Bond
“A father’s love is priceless, but today I wanted to show mine just how much he means to me. This is how I surprised my dad with a one-million bouquet on his 51st birthday because no gift could ever match the man who has given me everything. Happy Birthday, Dad, here’s to more love, wisdom, and blessings ahead,” she said.
Maurine has often spoken about the close relationship she shares with her father, describing him as her source of inspiration and discipline. She credits much of her drive in business to the lessons instilled by him.
The birthday surprise, therefore, was not just about luxury but about celebrating a relationship built on love, respect, and mutual admiration.
The Ksh1 million bouquet was presented during a small gathering at the airport today, where Maurine said that while material gifts can never equal a parent’s love, they can serve as gestures of appreciation.
Kabu’s reaction
Maurine noted that her father has always been her greatest cheerleader and a guiding figure in her personal and professional life. The grand bouquet sought to remind him that his sacrifices and dedication have not gone unnoticed.
Kabu in the video is seen happy, saying, “Thank you, my daughter. I love you so much. Wame ni surprise twice. Ni vile siwezi lia. Machozi haiwezi toka lakini….”
Maurine also used the moment to express her love to her father as she is seen hugging him back.
