Kenyans on social media marvelled at before and after photos of Bomet Women Representative Linet Chepkorir alongside a boda boda rider who campaigned for her in the 2022 polls.
In photos that were shared by Kenyans.co.ke on Thursday, January 18, online users praised the young politician for sticking with the boda boda rider known as Gideon Cheruyiot.
Many noted that it was rare for politicians to stick with those who had supported them during the campaigns after securing their election.
"This is excellent. It is always good to appreciate someone who once helped you when you were in need," Celestine Lorita stated.
"This is very important and the real meaning of a genuine friendship," Musembi Alfred echoed.
On the other hand, a section of online users also acknowledged the immense transformation that the duo had gone through since 2022.
Others also asked the legislator to secure permanent employment for her friend.
Toto's and Cheruyiot's friendship dates back to the campaign period when the boda boda rider helped her transverse the county given that she did not have a car for campaigns.
Speaking at past events, Toto noted that the Cheruiyot offered his services for free explaining that he had faith in her manifesto.
Notably, during her maiden speech in parliament on October 12, 2022, Toto acknowledged Cheruiyot and credited him for the win in the 2022 General Elections.
"He then decided to assist me with his boda boda. He fueled it with his own money and took me to the field in the morning and back home in the evening.
"Gideon, wherever you are, may God bless you," she stated then.
