Kenyan man George Gerry Mboya has been discovered deceased merely days after making an emotional plea for assistance online.
A video shared by Obuyu Onalo depicted Mboya in a visibly distressed state, despite his relatively neat appearance. His speech was noticeably slurred as he recounted his dire circumstances, including lack of shelter and deteriorating health. Mboya claimed to be the youngest son of Tom Mboya, though this was later refuted by family sources. He detailed a six-month stay at Overland Park Regional Medical Center in Kansas, USA, due to liver failure. Upon discharge, he found himself without resources or accommodation.
"I am Tom Mboya's youngest son. I lost everything; I went to Overland Park Regional Medical Center for six months because my liver failed," he said.
A compassionate individual provided temporary aid, offering funds for motel lodging and agreeing to meet him the following day. Regrettably, it was subsequently confirmed that Mboya passed away on July 31 in Kansas, USA. A social media announcement stated that his remains were cremated on August 9, with plans to transport his ashes to Kenya for a family burial at a later date. The post included a poignant tribute to Mboya's life and memory.
Jarunda Jaluth Mambobiad, in consultation with the Mboya family, clarified that the deceased had been grappling with depression. George Jerry Mboya is survived by two children, James and London. Overland Park Regional Medical Center, where Mboya received treatment, is a 343-bed acute care facility in Kansas. Established in 1978, it offers a wide array of medical services and is renowned for its compassionate care.
This incident highlights the devastating effects of depression and mental health disorders. Depression, a pervasive mood disorder, significantly impairs an individual's daily functioning and quality of life. The World Health Organization recognizes it as a leading cause of disability worldwide, yet many affected individuals do not seek treatment due to various barriers.
In Kenya, mental health services often face resource constraints, making access to care challenging. However, efforts are underway to improve the situation. The Kenya Mental Health Policy 2015-2030 aims to enhance access to comprehensive mental health services. Additionally, non-governmental organizations like BasicNeeds Kenya and the Africa Mental Health Foundation work tirelessly to support and advocate for improved mental health care.

Ndugu yangu:
Hakuna watu wanaoitwa “Maragoli.” Hili neno bandia lilibuniwa na Ndugu zetu Waingereza walipojiingiza nchini mwetu na kujifanya wataalamu wa kila jambo.
Walipokuwa a na “WaLogooli” waliuliza swali hili:
“Wewe ni kabila gani?” Walijibiwa na kuambiwa, “Mimi ni Mlogooli.” Walishindwa kuandika kama walivyoambiwa na wa kaandī ka, “Maragoli.”
Ningependa kurekebisha koşa hili: akiwa mmoja ni “Mlogooli” na zaidi ya mmoja ni “WaLogooli.”
Je, Ndugu yangu: Wewe ni Mnyore au Mtiriki?
Mwishowe, ningependa kuku arığı ya kwamba makosa Mengi ne Waingereza walifanya ni kubuni mataifa mengine Mao’ya bandia yanayojulikana kama “Luhya” na pia “Kalenjin.”
Imara Daima. Mimi si mKabila; mimi mKENYA asili. Na Hiyo ndyo Sababu siPendi Chuki👹na🤡Ukabila zenye zimeBebwa na waKENYA🤓🙄🤡 hadi NG'AMBOni.
Sounds like liver failure and homelessness brought about by alcoholism. Addiction is a disease. May his soul RIP.
Many KENYAns in Diaspora are Turning to Alcohol for Comfort after being Used, Betrayed, and Abandoned (By the very People they Trusted and Helped when They were in Desperate need).

Sad. Sad for the young man. America is a land of opportunity. True. You work hard, and you get paid for your sweat. And to be ahead of a mammoth of real and imagined bills, you have to jungle from one job to another, up to to four, or same job working quadripple by asking your supervisor(s) to call you when a colleague get sick or calls out, or simply put, a substitute. But America has a dark side that nobody won't dare talk about it. That we are all a check away from these miseries. I went through it in early 2000s and pulled myself out of it, so I understand what this guy went through. In such situation, coupled with the ripple down effects of depression including heavy drinking, almost everybody look up at you through the lens of a DDO, daily drinking officer. To the guy buried in depression drenching himself in alcohol, to run away from reality, he is sick and need help. To the Kenyans watching him waste away, he is a careless and wasteful individual. Things then nose dives, he loses his job, his apartment, his car, and debt collectors goes for his check after obtaining a DEFAULT JUDGEMENT from the court, finally becomes homeless. The world becomes unbearable, intolerable...shameless. In a span of two decades plus, I know dozens of Americans, Africans and our Kenyan people who have taken their own lives, including a Kenyan lady who was run over by an bullet train. The monster that is depression negatively lowers the immune system culminating in by successive ailments affecting the major organs, among others.
I feel sad for Him and his Family. RIP.🙏

I thank🙏GOD to be ALIVE.😇
