Natalie Githinji appeals to Ruto
This comes shortly after her appeal to President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua for a seat down to discuss the issue of endometriosis in terms of treatment and health care for women with the disease.
Natalie highlighted the suffering endured by those battling the condition in her open letter to the government.
“This was me 3 years ago. Endo eats you up hadi unakaa skeleton walai. Anyway, this is my plea today. A letter to the gov’t. Dear gov’t, I’ll appreciate if I’m given a chance to just sit with the President of Kenya Hon. William Samoei Ruto, and the Deputy President of Kenya Hon. Rigathi Gachagua and just talk about how women suffering from this monster can be helped to manage living with endometriosis,” she appealed.
She also asked for the presence of both First Lady Rachel Ruto and Pastor Dorcas Rigathi during the meeting, believing they would better understand the issue.
“I also appreciated the presence of the First Lady Rachel Ruto and Her Excellency Pastor Dr. Dorcas Rigathi as they are women and would understand all about periods and what we go through as women,” she requested.
To raise awareness, the radio personality urged her fans to help tag President Ruto and share her post widely.
“Please tag them as many times as you can and write ‘Please give her a chance’ I’ll appreciate your support fam…. let’s do this together. Please don’t get tired of tagging them even a million times. Also share this post with as many friends as you can and kindly request them to help us tag and tag,” she said.
Natalie, who has been open about her endometriosis journey, revealed she had her first surgery for the condition on June 10, 2021. She recounted the experience, noting that the three-hour surgery frightened her mother, who expected it to last only an hour. She added that women with endometriosis fight for their lives every month.
“A day like this, 3 years ago, I underwent my first endometriosis surgery. Yoooo!!! nilikaa 3 hrs na mu mum thought ni surgery ya 1hr…. sema mathee kupanikiii..She’ll give her side of the story soon. The way she thought I had died and the doctors hawakua wanataka kumwambia, simply because I took long kwa hiyo surgery room….si mchezo walai. Ladies with endometriosis fight for their lives every month imagine. It’s sad but God is in control,” she said.
