A youthful MCA from Kirimari ward in Embu county Mr Maurice Nyaga known by many as Collo has become the envy of every Kenyan after performing an act of selflessness for his people.
Collo used a car grant of Sh4.5 million given to him by the county government to purchase a fully equipped ambulance for his electorate in a bid to ensure they access affordable health care.
The Kirimari Ward MCA Morris Collo Nyaga said he was touched by the plight of the residents.
“It is just six months since I was elected. I have not even purchased a new car. I had a blueprint and I want to transform it. I want everyone who cannot afford to hire an ambulance to access this one. It will have a designated area where it can be accessed,” said the MCA.
Collo who is in his late 20's said the ambulance will be parked at strategic places within the Embu Town and have a standby driver and nurse to attend to the locals.
Kenyans were quick to respond to Collo's humane act and most of them wished him all the best in 2022 politics, here are some of the messages.

Haha and they'll probably vote for the one who'll offer 50/- on the eve of the elections... But I hope not... Good gesture from the leader. Hard to find a proper one.— Revolutionaire (@DennisTambo) March 1, 2018.
