Conjestina Achieng Resurfaces on the Streets, Claims She Was Abandoned After Rehab Support
Former Kenyan boxing champion Conjestina Achieng has once again become the center of public attention after resurfacing in a worrying condition on the streets, months after she had reportedly been discharged from rehabilitation.
Her reappearance has sparked fresh concern among Kenyans who had been closely following her recovery journey.
Conjestina had previously been admitted to the Mombasa Women Rehabilitation Empowerment Centre, where she was receiving treatment for addiction and mental health challenges.
During her time in rehab, there were positive reports indicating that she was responding well to treatment, showing improvement, and slowly regaining stability.
Her recovery journey had also attracted national attention, especially after former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko stepped in to support her treatment and welfare.
Earlier updates from those close to her suggested that she was making steady progress and had even expressed appreciation for the assistance she received.
Many Kenyans had hoped this marked the beginning of a stable recovery and reintegration into normal life.
However, a recent viral video has raised new concerns. In the clip, Conjestina is seen on the streets appearing visibly distressed and unsettled.
She approaches a man inside a stopped vehicle who was asking for directions and requests financial help, specifically asking for KSh 100.
She explains that she is struggling to survive and mentions that she has no one to depend on, stating that she is an orphan.
The conversation becomes even more concerning when she is asked about her current situation and her previous support system. Conjestina is heard claiming that Mike Sonko allegedly told her to go away and that she is now living on her own near Yala Resort.
These claims have not been independently verified, but they have nonetheless fueled widespread discussion online.
Despite the tense and emotional moment, the interaction ends on a lighter note after the individuals in the car offer her some money and take photos with her.
In a brief moment of relief, Conjestina even smiles and playfully poses, striking boxing stances that reminded many people of her former life as a celebrated athlete.
The video quickly circulated across social media platforms, triggering mixed reactions from Kenyans. Many expressed deep concern over her well-being and questioned what may have happened after her reported rehabilitation progress.
Others called for renewed intervention from both government and well-wishers to ensure she receives continuous support and does not relapse into street life again.
As discussions continue online, Kenyans remain divided but largely concerned, with many emphasizing the need for long-term mental health and rehabilitation support systems for vulnerable individuals like Conjestina.
