Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has made a heartfelt pledge to support the grandchildren of the late Mama Mboga, who was a key figure in campaigning for President William Ruto in the 2022 elections. The grandchildren’s father, Alex Mbugua, was laid to rest recently after a period of hospitalization at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
During the funeral in Githunguri, Kiambu, CS Kuria expressed his commitment to taking care of the three children left behind by Pauline Waithira Njoroge, also known as Mama Mboga. He acknowledged the important role she played in the 2022 election campaigns and pledged to educate and provide for her grandchildren.
“I have committed to educate and empower the three sons he has left behind,” stated CS Kuria. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that the children receive a proper education and acquire technical skills to secure opportunities in the job market. By investing in their education, Kuria believes that he is empowering the children for the future, even beyond his own tenure in power.
The news of Kuria’s support was a significant relief for Waithira’s family, who have faced hardships, including the detention of her son’s body at KNH due to an outstanding hospital bill. Waithira had appealed to the public for assistance in raising the funds needed to release her son’s body, highlighting the financial challenges her family was facing.
In the past, Mama Mboga had spoken out about feeling abandoned by political leaders, including Kenya Kwanza, after their victory in the elections. She claimed that despite her efforts in supporting President William Ruto’s candidacy, she was left to struggle with poverty and lack of support from those in power.
CS Kuria’s commitment to supporting Mama Mboga’s grandchildren reflects a compassionate gesture towards a family in need. By prioritizing their education and future prospects, Kuria is aiming to make a lasting impact on their lives, ensuring that they have the necessary tools to succeed in the years to come.
In conclusion, the story of Mama Mboga and her grandchildren serves as a reminder of the importance of community support and empowerment, especially in times of hardship. CS Moses Kuria’s pledge to take on the responsibility of caring for the children is a commendable act of kindness that will have a positive impact on their lives, giving them hope for a brighter future ahead.
