In her letter, Wakirumba described the gesture as life-changing, noting that Babu Owino had gone beyond simply paying fees, he had given students hope, opportunity, and a chance at a better future.
“Am writing this with tears in my eyes, overflowing with gratitude,” she began. “Few people can truly make an impact on a massive scale, and through your act of charity today, you have done exactly that. You didn’t just pay a fee; you gave them a future.”
She highlighted the broader significance of his support, explaining that removing this financial barrier allows students to continue their education, pursue their dreams, and ease the burden on their families. The relief brought by this act, she noted, extends beyond the individual students to entire communities.
Wakirumba also praised Babu Owino’s leadership and empathy, calling him an example of how public figures can use their influence for the good of others.
“In a world that often feels selfish, your benevolence shines as a beacon of hope,” she wrote. “You have touched the hearts of many and set a standard of generosity that inspires everyone around you.”
The open letter, shared widely on social media, has resonated with thousands of followers who have expressed similar gratitude for the MP’s actions.
Many say it is the kind of leadership and personal initiative that the country needs, demonstrating that acts of kindness can have a ripple effect far beyond the initial gesture.
For Wakirumba, and for the students whose fees were cleared, Babu Owino’s intervention is more than financial support, it is a tangible expression of hope, encouragement, and belief in the future of Kenya’s youth.
