Good morning,
There is a famous saying; “You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family” which reminds us of how important family relationships are. But once in a while, we are faced with the hard question of whether friends are better for us than family?
The latest heartbreaking story of Joseph Kinuthia, alias Omosh, has reignited this debate once more after his well-off family was accused of neglecting him as he suffered financial woes.
Last week, Omosh broke down and begged for financial help to get his life back together and since then, he has been receiving all kinds of help from Kenyans with radio presenter Jalang’o promising to help raise KSh1 million for the former Tahidi High actor.
Amid accusations of neglecting their own, Omosh’s family led by his celebrity sister Naomi Kamau, renown for her scriptwriting and acting roles, has however come out to deny such allegations adding that they have done all they could to help the husband to two and father of five.
The former Tahidi High actor himself revealed that he had battled alcoholism after leaving the show and it was his sister who took him to rehab for three months.
So should Omosh’s family, after all their effort to help him leave his troubled life, be blamed for not helping him financially? Is family to blame for failures of one of their own?
