Nairobi Preacher Spends His Own Cash to Fix a Road in Kayole Estate after Gov't Laxity

A Nairobi clergyman has used money from his own pocket to rehabilitate a road in his area after years of neglect by the government.

Pastor Godfrey Migwi, the head of House of Hope Ministries in Kayole, says he made the decision after the County government of Nairobi ignored numerous calls by residents to improve the state of the road.

Migwi is a well-known critic of the government and was recently quoted urging President Kenyatta to stop taking more loans from China.

He says he has made several trips to City Hall in a bid to push Governor Mike Sonko's administration to fix the road but his cry has fell on deaf ears.

“Making our Home area a better place bila CDF ama msaada wa serikali for the glory of God, msaada wangu watoka kwa Yesu. You can use whaou’ve to make your neighbours happy. Change starts with you. One step at a time. You can’t lead people with a greedy heart,” writes Pastor Godfrey Migwi on Facebook.
