‘Her family is greedy’ popular radio presenter explains why Conjestina is suffering

The family of Conjestina Achieng’ are to blame for her condition and the lack of support from well- wishers.
Conjestina Achieng’ who was hospitalized yesterday has been in and out of hospital as her health deteriorates with each passing day.
Conjesina’s woes started back in 2012. She was admitted to hospital and ad pending bills topping the 500,000 KES mark.
After a plea went out, the public managed to raise over 700,000 to clear her bills and help her during her recuperating period.
A couple of months later, Conjestina was back in the news with her poor health and helplessness again the subject of another appeal to different stake-holders for help.
It has since become a cycle and at various points, private individuals and organizations have chipped in until somehow, Kenya’s famed generosity ran dry.
Nowadays, calls for #SaveConje are usually ignored even though her cases and the plight of her son get covered. The reason it appears could be the family.
 
Radio Africa’s Carol Radull has come out placing the blame on Conjestina’s family.
In a couple of tweets, Radull explained why the current campaign to help Conjestina would not work unless done excluding the family.
 
 
It is not the first time the family has been accused of squandering money and discouraging well-wishers’ efforts.
Early this year in February, a model from Nairobi, Miss Eastlands, Eveleen Ming’oye was involved with a fierce exchange with the family.
She accused them of using Conjestina as a cash cow and the brothers use money sent to her for school fees for their own children.
 
The family has denied this accusations. Instead they accuse leading personalities of either seeking fame or the camera moments pledging a lot but hardly delivering anything. They accused Miss Eastlands for seeking a way to make easy cash.
As the squabbles continue, Conjestina Achieng’ suffer more and her son who is doing KCSE this year bars an even greater burden struggling to cater for most of his needs and the occasional well wisher.
