A Nakuru family that accepted a gift of a house from President Uhuru Kenyatta received more goodies on Monday.
The family of Charles Macharia received the goodies, among them foodstuffs, from the National Council of Persons with Disability.
Speaking during the visit, the executive director of the council Mohammed Hussein Gabo also promised to look after the welfare of Macharia’s three disabled children.
To start with, the council promised a motorbike to the family.
“Our main role is to ensure that the people living with disability are taken care of. As a council we shall be donating a three-wheeled motorbike to help the movement of the three children,” said Gabo.
The council will also register one of the disabled children for the cash transfer program.
Gabo also asked Kenyans to open up on persons with.
“We will look into one of the children who has severe disability so that we can enroll the child to the cash transfer program. We are also calling on Kenyans to open up on people with disabilities. The counties should also ensure they employ people with disability,” he said.
Nakuru County Commissioner Erastus Mbui hailed the council for helping the family.
Macharia was overwhelmed over the turn of events in his life.
“I don’t know even what to say. I am happy and I pray that the Almighty God bless you so much,” he said.
Macharia’s family has been living under help from Bishop Elizabeth Musili of Unfolding Glory Ministries Church.
“I have known this family for the last five years and I am very grateful for the support that the family has received,” said Bishop Musili.
The house the family of Macharia received from President Kenyatta was a gift to Damaris Wambui Kamau who rejected it for being a ‘joke of a gift from the President’.
Wambui, is the mother of Dennis Ngaruiya, who cracked President Kenyatta’s ribs with a thrilling poem four years ago.
The President then invited him to State House where he promised to school him and buy his mother a house.
Ngaruiya’s mother said the house was ‘substandard yet a State House had been ordered she gets a decent home’.
