Sonko Promises Help For Slain RECCE Squad Officer After Bonface Mwangi Highlighted How His Family Is Languishing In Poverty

Fallen RECCE squad genius Bernard Tonui was laid to rest in his farm in Bomet County after he lost his life saving the Garissa University students trapped by Al Shabaab insurgents who killed their 147 colleagues.

But one thing that stood out during the burial is the sad reality that Tonui, despite working for the government in one of its finest and most effective entities, lived in abject poverty and was the sole breadwinner for his family.

His demise was therefore the worst blow the family received.

Activist Bonface Mwangi attended Tonui’s burial and covered every detail of the proceedings and painted a clear picture of the desolate life his family were left in.

His posts on facebook have since attracted mixed reactions from Kenyans, with many castigating the government for neglecting its servants.

This has prompted many to suggest for an idea to help Tonui’s family. Among those who have promised their support is Mike Sonko who has urged Boniface to start an online campaign to collect money for the Tonui family.

Sonko shared photos Boniface posted and promised who is part of any deal to help the family. He said:

Boniface Mwangi, why don’t you initiate an online fundraising and i can assure you we will contribute as much as possible to make sure the family lives a descent life, especially her daughter!
