Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has come to the aid of ailing journalist Njambi Koikai, who is popularly known as Jahmby, after she reached out to him.
The generous county boss donated Kshs1 million to help pay her hospital bill.
Koikai, who had reached out to Joho on social media, took to the same platform to pen a touching vote of thanks.
“Want to take a moment to thank you all for your acts of kindness and especially to those who responded to my plea to reach out to H.E Governor Ali Hassan Joho,” read her post on Instagram.
She continued to add, “Mheshimiwa responded and contributed Kshs 1 m to my fund which has gone a long way in lifting my hospital bill.”
She has been suffering from endometriosis for a long time and is receiving treatment abroad that saw her undergo 16 surgeries.
Her followers took the opportunity to thank Joho and wish her well as she battles the illness.
Ethan Lesh wrote, “Wow! God bless governor Joho he has a heart of gold. Get well fire mama.”
Shiko Kamau encouraged Koikai by telling her, “We truly serve a living God!! May He bless the work of his hands and may he extend his healing hand to you.”
The primary symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain, often associated with menstrual periods and affects over 200 million women worldwide.
