Photo of Dead Drunk ‘Githeri Man’ Goes Viral on Social Media

A new photo of a seemingly extremely drunk Martin Kamotho alias 'Githeri man' has surfaced online.

Kamotho became an overnight celebrity after a picture of him eating Githeri from a plastic bag while lining up to vote during the August 8th, 2017 general elections went viral on social media.

He trended for days and top companies and brands such as Safaricom, Ngong Crescent, Big Square, and Bonfire Adventures among others poured him with gifts and even vacations.

He was branded a 'national hero' and even honored with a presidential award.

Months later in 2018, he was taken to an alcohol rehabilitation Centre run by Kiambu Woman Representative Gathoni Wa Muchomba. This was after his quest for alcohol got out of hand.

Kamotho was admitted to Mama Care Rehabilitation Centre in Wangunyu Primary School, Kiambu County after President Kenyatta's intervention.

After a nine-month stay in rehab, Kamotho graduated in a ceremony attended by President Kenyatta, where he was issued with a certificate.

The latest photo circulating on social media show a totally inebriated Kamotho being wheeled on a trolley in the middle of a street.

Reports suggest Kamotho was found in Nairobi's Kayole estate, where he lives, very drunk and could barely walk. A friend used a trolley to take him home.
