Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has extended a generous donation to help support renowned Kikuyu musician Njeru Thiga, who is currently receiving urgent medical treatment in India.
Thiga, known for his soulful Kikuyu songs that celebrate Kenyan culture and traditions, recently faced a serious health challenge. His condition prompted fans and well wishers across the country to launch a fundraising campaign to help cover the high costs of specialized treatment abroad. Following the nationwide effort, Thiga traveled to India, where medical experts are providing the care he urgently requires.
In a heartwarming gesture, Uhuru Kenyatta contributed a substantial amount to Thiga’s treatment, an act that was widely lauded on social media. Kenyans flooded platforms with messages of gratitude, prayers, and encouragement for both the singer and the former president, commending Uhuru for his timely intervention.
Thiga’s music has long been celebrated for preserving Kikuyu language and traditions, earning him a devoted fan base across Kenya. His recent health crisis sparked an outpouring of solidarity, demonstrating the strong connection between Kenyan artists and their supporters.
According to close associates, the singer is responding well to treatment, and the donation from Uhuru Kenyatta has eased both financial and emotional burdens for Thiga and his family. Many Kenyans noted that such support goes beyond money, it symbolizes national unity, compassion, and the importance of caring for local talent during times of personal hardship.
This act of generosity has reignited conversations about the need to support Kenyan artists, particularly when they face health or personal challenges. Fans and well wishers continue to hope for Thiga’s speedy recovery, anticipating his return home to continue sharing his music and uplifting the nation with his art.
As Thiga recovers under expert care, the music community and the public remain united in wishing him strength, health, and a full return to the stage.
