Former president Uhuru Kenyatta has touched many hearts across the country after extending generous support to the family of the late gospel musician Betty Bayo.
His gesture came shortly after he learned about her passing, a loss that shocked many Kenyans who were unaware that she had been quietly battling cancer.
Uhuru Kenyatta Steps In to Support the Family
According to Kikuyu musician Ben Githae, Uhuru Kenyatta donated KSh 1 million through the Kenyatta Foundation to help the family cover the burial expenses.
In addition to the financial support, the former president also requested the names of Bayo’s children so that the foundation can fully sponsor their education.
This compassionate act has been widely praised, especially because Bayo was known for her inspiring gospel music that uplifted many listeners over the years.
The donation came at a time when the family had begun fundraising to give the musician a dignified send-off. Her relatives and friends are determined to honor her memory with a respectful and heartfelt burial ceremony.
Pastor Victor Kanyari, Bayo’s ex-husband, publicly thanked Uhuru for his support. He shared emotional videos with their son, Danny, as he expressed his gratitude and reflected on the difficult moment the family is going through.
