Veteran Vioja Mahakamani actor Gibson Gathu Mbugua, is appealing for financial help from Kenyans.
Gathu is famed for playing the role of the prosecutor in the long-watched court drama. He is seeking funds to help him get a kidney transplant.
In an appeal seen by The Sauce, the popular actor has been ailing since 2020 and is set to undergo a kidney transplant at Mediheal Hospital in Eldoret in July 2022.
The appeal says Gathu has a donor and needs between Sh5 million and Sh6 million for a kidney transplant. The said amount is inclusive of post-surgery treatment for the recipient.
“Gibson has been managing diabetes for over 20 years now, but some time in November 2020 his kidneys failed hence he has been going for dialysis twice a week,” the appeal reads.
It says the condition has drained the family financially.
A fundraiser has been scheduled for June 11 at City Hall, Nairobi, from 2pm and well-wishers and fans can send their contributions via paybill.
