Hinga’s mother tribute that lefts everyone in tears

The late reformed chokoraa, Patrick Hinga, was laid to rest on Friday. He passed on after complaining of severe stomachache. His mother tribute him as a son who always made him proud. The tribute read;

“It is well with my soul. 35 years ago, a bouncing baby boy was born, we named him Hinga. He grew up in a christian family, when it came to education, you didn’t disappoint your mama, you always made me proud by your performance. After joining house, we discovered you had started abusing drugs.

We opted for a transfer to Kayole, where I was then working and staying but it didn’t help, but instead, you became worse. The journey to Mathari mental hospital began. We tried taking you to rehab too but the expenses were too much for us. Today I bring you home. No more going to Kayole, Mwiki to Wangige.

No more street boy, no more Mathari hospital, no more rehabs, no more drugs, no more whispers, and finger-pointing. You will be home, your home, where we all wanted you to be with your family, god bless you. God help us in achieving the goal of erecting a house here so that I will be seeing your grave daily. I love you Hinga and I’ll miss you dearly.

Hinga first hit headlines after he met with i former classmate, Wanja Mwaura, who helped him transform to a better life by taking him to a rehab.
