How old is he?

Quick recovery mzee!

Mr Sonko. I strongly differ with anyone who wants to elect you to any position, but I must admit your campaign strategy is great. You come out any one who really feels the pain of the common man and have begun spreading the message a clean two years to election. In the meantime, Kamanda, Bishop Wanjiru and Mr Mumias are toast re Nairobi gavana in 2017. Just saying...

Kenyans on Twitter #KOT have reacted angrily to the sorry state former Vitimbi star Benson Wanjau popularly called Mzee Ojwang’ is living in.

K24 TV posted a promotion on a feature they plan to air tonight about the one time darling of the audience with his humorous quips and comic expressions. Mzee Ojwang is ailing and apparently doesn't have money.

Photos of the former TV sensation now show a man who is a shell of his old self reportedly living in abject poverty and squalor.

WHERE CAN I SEND MY CONTRIBUTION?

It's sad and I wish him quick recovery.

[quote=Kusadikika]Very cold hearted and distasteful for Matiang'i and Waithaka Waihenya to go to hospital and tell Ojwang' that KBC does not owe him anything because their contract was over and they were paid.

It is a very narrow minded way of thinking about the institutions they serve. I don't remember anything about KBC other than Vitimbi and Vioja Mahakamani. Those two programs are what many Kenyans will always associate with KBC. If KBC has any legacy at all it is in great part because of Ojwang and company.

Corporate Social responsibility is not just about buying printed T shirts and going to donate Unga ya chapati to a childrens home on Christmas day. It should be about caring about the welfare of the community that you serve starting from those inside.

His ways may be unorthodox and his solutions short term but you have to give it to Sonko, his heart is in the right place.

If you did your job and were paid at the agreed reasonable terms, but you chose to spend your cash on phombe na wanawake, and never invested, why should you blame your former employer when things go south? Choices have consequences.

@Jagger if you had a brother who through his very own faults became a drunkard, lost his job, fell ill and was admitted to hospital, would you help him in any way?

In life you do things but never ever forget that the things that happen to you are more than the things you do, tafakari hayo.

Count all your successes and compute what YOU DID and what happened TO YOU, if your actions are the PRIMARY drivers of your success all power to you.

Brother, never compare employer with family. In fact, people who make that mistake invest their time and emotions in their jobs and ignore family, until that day you can no longer deliver and you realize the employer-you relationship was purely contractual.

I know a former Riakanau driver who is now languishing in poverty. In his days,you were assured of getting to Nairobi safe and sound.
How we forget our heroes!

I also wish there was an MPesa number we could send our contributions to.

But we don't have to wait. We already have a wazua group we can use with trusted officials. Who were leading that group? @Sasha? Organize something we contribute. Even if we raise 100k, 10k, 5k or whatever k, I am sure mzee Ojwang and family can use it.

I know we have a handful of wazuans who are barely out of diapers - we all know them - but most wazuans were entertained by this man and his crew long before there was DStv, KTN etc. It is our time to give back. Let's not join the "how we forget our heroes" bandwagon. Let's be among the few who don't forget our heroes.
