He expressed gratitude to Kenyans who contributed to his treatment stating that preparations for his kidney transplant are in top gear.

Kenyans in diaspora, the Vicar St Catherine Ack Tumaini, and the faithful, Chrisco Church Kayole, and the MD KBC and TUKO.co.ke family were also among those who the actor thanked for their massive support.
