In a viral video that captured the attention of many Kenyans, a young boy passionately alleged that President William Ruto was selling Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to an Indian buyer.
The boy’s earnest expression and compelling message quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing various reactions from viewers.
Comedian Eric Omondi, known for his humorous and satirical takes on current events, shared the video on his Instagram account, dubbing the young boy a “whistleblower.”
In his post, Omondi humorously requested to connect with the “reporter” to engage further with the story. This interaction drew attention not only to the boy’s claims but also to his personal situation.
In a direct message to Eric Omondi, the young boy expressed a heartfelt plea for assistance. He revealed that he had only been able to study up to Class 2 and desperately wished to return to school.
This revelation shifted the focus from the video’s initial political claim to the pressing educational needs of the child.
The boy’s request touched many who viewed the video, prompting a wave of supportive comments. Social media users echoed the importance of prioritizing education, with many suggesting that efforts be made to help the young boy resume his studies.
Comments ranged from offers of financial assistance to expressions of admiration for the boy’s boldness and candidness.
