Widow of Former KDF Soldier Gifted Sh2.6 Million House

Widow of Former KDF Soldier Gifted Sh2.6 Million House

Pauline Waithira, the widow of a former Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) soldier could not hide her joy after she was handed keys to a newly built house on Saturday.

The putting up of the Sh2.6 million house in Bahati, Nakuru County was funded by the Military Wives Association of Kenya (MWAK) in collaboration with Bahati CDF, and KDF’s Compensation and Welfare Department. It was constructed by the Engineers Brigade between April 28th and July 2nd.

Waithira was left with a young son and daughter following the death of her husband Private Jeremiah Mbugua on January 1st, 2018.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, MWAK Chairlady Tabitha Kibochi said the house will provide a permanent habitation for the young widow and her kids.

“It is indeed distressing to lose a husband leaving behind young children. The story of Pauline came up last year and touched our hearts including that of the Chief of Defence Forces. However, I am delighted to hand over the keys to this new house to uplift this family,” she said.

 “We look forward to supporting and make more impacts in the lives of other widows, orphans, and those who are disabled.”

Lieutenant Colonel Joshua Wanderi from the Engineers Brigade said they saved up to Sh1.4 million by sourcing labor and materials from KDF.

“I am an engineer and this 90 square meters house with all the specifications we’ve given it, would have cost in excess of Sh4 million. Having our troops doing the work has saved costs and time taken to construct the house,” he said.

On her part, Waithira said: “Indeed there’s hope for a tree once it’s cut, it shall sprout again. I sought assistance from the CDF and today I’m glad for the honor bestowed on me and my young children. From the bottom of my heart, I’m thankful.”

@ceneca - she sought for help and those of good hearts reached out to help her!

You can tell your dead Lou spouses to do the same and people will reach out to help!

You attitude here makes me think you lous are still not mature enough to take Kenya’s leadership through Raila! I’m still trying to understand what Uhuru is doing in his dealing with Luos.

There is something about you @ceneca that makes your heart stink like a rotten pussy! Your tribal ranting here reduces you and your cna status to be nothing!

You should be thankful that a widowed mother of two young kids got a house to shelter her children! The husband died defending Kenya! Something your ass self never did! You aught to do some soul searching and be ashamed to the narrows of shaky bones!

@shitneck! There is nothing you will revisit after 2022! Revisiting will put you at risk of losing 6 extra teeth on your lower jaw plus a blunt panga circumcision! Your threats are nothing to worry about about! You hit, and we will hit you back 7 times just like we have done before - 1969 will a new movie all over again! The script will be more vivid that you and your descendants will never get over it!

@ceneca! I have told you many many times that Kikuyus are very hard working people. The lady would have made with or without help! That is the nature of the kikuyu people! But the kind gesture makes a difference!

The Kikuyus are not like the luo people who are always out there wailing like mad dogs and spreading your small hand to be feed, given and remain catered for because you me first name is laziness!

Your little cranium is so small to a point you can’t see good things happening around you!

Here you are complaining with lots of jealousy while you got have a job in Massachusetts which you are about to be sucked because of poor performance and bad attitude! Your boss told me that you will be fire md for being lazy and arrogant for nothing. You don’t even know your job! We’re you not caught drinking alcohol while being on duty?

Do you feel me @ceneca? Do you really feel me you stupid woman? Other Kenyans have carried you for a long time but you are still living in the pits of hell because of your empty luo arrogance! If you ain’t have anything positive to say, please keep your damn hen’s bick shut!

Kenya does not need you to survive! Kikuyus do not need you at all to keep the country running smoothly! You suck big times!

Only in Kenya where: sell air to the goverment (those Naivasha thugs), steal public lands and sell (Ritho saga in Lamu county - his kids killed him & wife off) and that Kilifi one who was hounded out in the clashes, Kenyattas took the whole of Taita Taveta, and posing as Maasais home and abroad yawa -stealing Maasai Land in 'willing buyer and seller schemes'. You do not deny people loans, impoverish them, make them powerless, then turn around and claim 'willing buyer, willing seller'...eee?. Funnily, Ruto is doing the same thing calling it Hustling. You call it hardworking, other Kenyans see it as sly and conning. I want you to 'hardwork' out here my friends...where there is law and order, and your own is not 'giving loans' to enable 'willing buyer and willing seller'. So far, observation is that - Nada. They huddle in churches preaching tribalism. To be fair, not all are this devious 'hardworking'. Wapi equity bank? Thugs galore! And of course many 'harworking' 'businessmen' were members. I need you to start that hardwork out here, and take that work ethic home. Then I will have respect for you, until then, sell that hardwork to bidrs. All I see are retrogressive churches. I love you too!

Over half of the residents of Naivasha are of the luo community who travel from distant with chicken in the buskets to be manual laborers fir the Kikuyus who ow huge flower farms! Those are the ones who steal kikuyu owned lands and try to sell it to the government. When caught they blame their theft on the Kikuyus!

Sorry @ ceneca! You and I can never share love unless you want me to throw up on top of you! I will go without making love if you are the only kind of a woman left in the universe! It is that very simple!

Your flaws are the worst in the world! I don’t even have the time to explain them to you because you are below me; that I know! As for making love to you, nayyyy! It will not happen here on earth nor elsewhere! I’m not that thirsty in that department! I will take a turukana girl 100 times over you! And that is my major flaw….. I know this makes you horny!

No @ceneca - I don’t hide like you wish to suggest - I speak my mind to whomever is behaving badly - and you in particular I find you to be a tribalist; a bigot!

I’m a luo from siaya! I’m just trying to enlighten you and your small mind because you are very silly! I have many kikuyu friends and they are all fine and kind people!

Your tribal hatred is deeply very strange, weird, crazy granted you sound like you live in America! I always look up to people like because I assume you know better - all the reason you live in America.

Kenya is moving in the right direction. People like you have no space here any more because we look at each other as Kenyans. We cerebrate achievement for all - kikuyu, luo, ngiriama, kisii, etc! Kenya us ours sisi zote!

Please dont cost Raila some votes by acting like a kid! How old are you lady?

Thank you @akinyi for educating this fool! She has tried to hook up with many kikuyu men but they keep turning her down. That is why she is so bitter about Kikuyus because the men keep telling her no, I don’t want you!

@ Gatheca:

You wrote, "... Your tribal ranting here reduces you and your cna status to be nothing!"

Ndugu Gatheca, I am concerned about your use of the lexical item "tribe" in your post. Why? Our late hero Dr. Wangari Mathaai, came up with a more objective, better, and friendly word "micro-nation." Her introduction of this word basically makes an effort to get rid of the old hackneyed colonial word
"tribe."

Currently, Kenya is composed of about 60 distinct micro-nations. Why 60? During their brief colonial administration in Kenya, the British created two fake micro-nations known as the "Kalenjin" and the "Abaluhya." This group (Abaluhya) is composed of 16 "micro-nations" where some of them have to communicate with one another using Kiswahili or the English colonial language because their languages are so different that communication is not possible. For example, when a Bukusu speaker comes into contact with a native speaker of the Logooli language, they cannot understand one another.

I have made an effort to use her word (micro-nation) and introduce it to other speakers of the most arrogant language spoken in the world known as "English language." This language (English) belittles all the rest of the World languages by using less friendly lexical items in describing and analyzing other people of the world. Their use of the word "tribe" was to show that they are superior to other linguistic groups and cannot be lumped together as equals.
