Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has once again offered to help sickly boxer Conjestina Achieng after her photo went viral on social media raising concerns about her health.
A heartbreaking photo of the legendary female boxer surfaced on social networking platforms days ago hitting the nerves of many Kenyans.
Many people who shared and commented on the viral picture expressed concerns about Conjestina’s mental and general health, asking authorities and well-wishes to go to her rescue.
Sonko offered to help Conjestina
Mike Sonko, who has helped the sickly boxer before to seek mental treatment, has once again offered to assist Conjestina after her photo went viral on social media.
“Good Morning fellow Kenyans, I’m truly saddened by this whatsap message from Conjestina’s son. Our leaders are busy campaigning while one of our shujaas who once made this country proud is currently languishing in poverty and needs help due to her ill health.
“I have singlehandedly helped her before, taken her to various hospitals and rehabilitation centres including Nairobi County rehabilitation centre in Parklands, Diani Beach among others where she gets full recovery and discharged then when she gets back to shags after a while gets worse again,” Sonko wrote in part on Facebook.
The former Nairobi governor further said that Conjestina’s son Charltone Otieno told him that he believes his mother needs prayers this time round and not psychiatric treatment.
Sonko offered to take the sickly boxer to prophetess Mary Kagendo for prayers. He dispatched his team to Siaya to facilitate Conjestina’s movement.
“Through her Son the family believes she needs prayers and are proposing taking her to Pastor Ezekiel. They have been appealing for help but none of our leaders has heeded to their cry.
“However despite my busy court schedule and tribulations I have decided to continue helping her including taking her to Mtumishi prophetess Mary Kagendo for prayers. I am just now dispatching a car with my team to Siaya to facilitate her movement and I’m also humbly appealing to any well-wisher who’s willing to help tusaidiane sote kwa huyu shujaa in any little ways we can through the son Charltone,” Sonko wrote.
