Leonard Omusula, the Butere man who captured the hearts of Kenyans with his now-iconic “Jina Hutaki” phrase, has appealed to the public for financial assistance to help his daughter secure her place at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC).
The viral personality, whose memorable phrase made him a widely recognised figure across the country, shared his predicament on September 18, 2026, asking well-wishers to chip in so his daughter would not miss out on her admission.
Omusula’s daughter earned admission to KMTC, a significant milestone for any family, particularly one from a modest background in Butere, western Kenya.
Where did “Jina Hutaki” originate from?
However, the joy of her achievement has been tempered by the financial strain of meeting the college’s admission fees, which the family has been unable to raise on their own.
The former internet sensation, whose “Jina Hutaki” phrase reportedly originated from a candid moment that resonated with countless Kenyans, is now hoping that the same goodwill which made him famous will come to his family’s aid in their time of need.
It is a story that cuts deep for many ordinary Kenyans who know all too well what it means to watch an opportunity slip away simply because money is not available.
How much does Omusula need for his daughter’s KMTC fees?
Omusula’s daughter has done her part by earning the admission; now, her father is asking the public to help her walk through the door.
According to K24 Digital, Omusula made his appeal public, hoping that Kenyans who remember him fondly would respond with more than just nostalgia.
Omusula has not disclosed the exact amount needed, but the urgency of his appeal suggests the deadline for payment is fast approaching.
