Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has been mentioned among Kenyans who helped facilitate the travel of ailing Kikuyu musician Njeru Thiga to India for specialised medical treatment, a gesture that has drawn public attention and praise.
The development was reported as details emerged about the support extended to the popular artist, whose health condition had sparked widespread concern among fans and the public.
According to information shared online, Kenyatta played a role in mobilising assistance that enabled Thiga to access advanced treatment abroad, highlighting his continued engagement in humanitarian and social causes despite being out of active politics. The intervention comes at a time when debates around access to quality healthcare and the high cost of treatment abroad remain prominent national issues.
Political observers note that such acts of goodwill by former leaders often resonate strongly with the public, reinforcing perceptions of compassion and responsibility beyond office. Kenyatta’s involvement has also reignited discussion on the role of political leaders in supporting vulnerable citizens outside formal government structures.
The episode has prompted renewed calls for stronger healthcare systems locally, so that patients are not forced to seek treatment abroad. As Thiga continues his treatment, messages of support and solidarity have continued to pour in from across the country.
