NACADA, Chipukeezy comes the rescue of Kenya’s boxing legend

NACADA (National Authority for the Campaign against drug abuse) has committed to take the boxing legend Conjestina Achieng to the best  rehab/ mental institution in Kenya. This comes a day after the efforts by celebrities to campaign and ask for able institutions to give her the help she needs.

Youth empowerment foundation Director of  NACADA; Vinie Chipukeezy has  announced that they managed to reach out to her and will be picking her from her Kisumu home today, before being taken to the best mental institution there is in Kenya.

The moves comes after  a video of the boxing legend went viral resulting to Kenyans raising a huge debate on how Conjestina seemed to have been abandoned after she began ailing.

Gospel Artist Daddy Owen is among those who was moved by this video and this pushed him to call out to other Kenyans to do something..

The  misfortunes of the female boxer Conjestina Achieng’, once the pride of Kenya in the boxing field, began when she was reported to be ailing after many blows to her head.

About 6 years ago, Conjestina was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder/paranoid schizophrenia and was admitted at Mathari Hospital in 2012, after she drifted into a psychotic episode.

Chipukeezy had yesterday revealed that the government earlier tried to help her although it is unclear on what happened after.

Fena Gitu also came through to give her sentiments and their cry, together with that of Kenyans has finally been heard.

The celebrities have promised that they will not give up or tire from making sure she is getting the help she needs.

Here is Chipukeezy’s message.
