The elderly man who cycled for four days from Kakamega to Kabarak, Nakuru county to attend the late president Daniel Arap Moi’s burial has been gifted with a brand new motorbike and a poshomill by Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko
The governor revealed that 76-year-old Nathan Ambuti had requested for the poshomill in order to start a business in Butere and the motorcycle to ease his movement.
Sonko took to social media to announce this and said Mzee Ambuti had no money for a hotel room, and would sleep on verandahs during his arduous journey to Kabarak. ‘
