Kenyans from across the country have once again showed their good hearts of helping in a big way whenever someone is in great need.
This time, they have come together and raised money that will be used for the treatment of Henry Desagu, who is a renowned comedian in the country.
The funny man is unfortunately currently hospitalized at the Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital, and this is because he is suffering from depression and alcoholism.
News of Henry Desagu’s sorry state was however disclosed by Gatundu North Member of Parliament Elijah Njoroge Kururia on Sunday.
This was in a post that he made on his Facebook account, where the legislator further said that he was launching an online fundraising campaign, where he asked Kenyans to contribute money that will be used to treat the comedian.
In the post, Hon. Elijah Njoroge Kururia said that his target was to raise Kshs 1 million.
As we speak however, that target has already been passed, because Kenyans so far have contributed Kshs 1,080,000 in just 24 hours.
This was disclosed by the Gatundu North Member of Parliament, who has been keeping the records of all those who have contributed.
If you do a quick check on his Facebook account, you will realize that this huge amount of money was given by politicians, business people as well as other Kenyan celebrities.
