Member of Parliament for Embakasi East Babu Owino promised on Friday to support a young woman spotted in Thika selling boiled maize by the side of the road.
The young girl was seen in a video selling boiled maize at night while wearing her school uniform.
Babu posted a video of the girl on Facebook and asked anyone who could help him contact her.
He conveyed a great desire to leave a lasting impression on her life and future.
He stated that he would like to support her education and give her parents the money they need to launch a business.
“Someone to get me this girl’s contact please I want to sponsor her education and give her parents money to start a business,” Babu said.
Babu said the young girl reminded him of his own days when he used to sell chang’aa every day after school.
“This girl leaves Kisiwa Primary school in Thika every evening to go sell boiled maize by the roadside which reminds me of when I used to sell chang’aa every day after school in my whole primary and secondary school life,” he said.
He termed what she was going through as temporary challenges.
