A Nairobi family has finally found a place to call home, months after losing a loved one who had one last wish before his death.
The family of the late John Gitau Abass, who served as a personal assistant (PA) to MCA Kimani Wanjohi, has received a newly constructed house worth KSh 1.4 million in Shauri Estate, Huruma Ward.
Abass’s Dying Wishes
Wanjohi announced the heartwarming development while sharing photographs of himself handing over the keys to the new homeowners.
In an emotional message, the MCA said he built a house for Abass’s family as a promise he made to his late aide in his final days.
According to Wanjohi, Abass had expressed his wish to see his family secure a roof over their heads before he died.
Moved by his request, Wanjohi and his team committed to fulfilling his final wish and began constructing the house.
How Long Did the Project Last?
The MCA disclosed that the project was completed within two months, describing the handover as a moment of relief and closure.
“As I handed over the house keys to the new owner, I could breathe with a sigh of relief, in full knowledge that this becomes a closure,” he said.
Wanjohi also expressed gratitude to God for making it possible for the team to fulfil the promise within the short period.
The house was subsequently dedicated to the Lord in a ceremony led by Bishop Eliud Karanja of Worldwide Gospels, Mwanzo, who prayed for the family and their new home.
MCA Congratulates Beneficiaries
The MCA congratulated the beneficiaries as they began a new chapter in their lives, while paying tribute to Abass.
“Continue resting in peace Abass, and congratulations to the new homeowners in Shauri Estate,” he wrote.
The gesture has highlighted the lasting impact of a promise made to a departed colleague and the importance of remembering the families left behind by loved ones.
