President William Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki have jointly donated KSh10 million to support the two children of the late gospel singer Betty Bayo, offering a lifeline to the grieving family during their most difficult moment.
The announcement was made during a condolence visit, where the two leaders expressed their sympathy and pledged to stand with the children as they adjust to life without their mother. The contribution is aimed at securing the children’s education, welfare, and long-term stability.
According to officials present, President Ruto praised Betty Bayo’s inspirational impact on Kenya’s gospel industry, noting that her music touched many hearts and her legacy deserved to be honored. DP Kindiki echoed the same sentiments, saying the government had a responsibility to protect and uplift vulnerable children, especially those left behind by prominent figures who served the nation through their talent.
Family members, friends, and fans welcomed the donation, saying it would greatly ease the financial burden that often follows such a sudden loss. Many also thanked the President and his deputy for showing compassion and solidarity during a time of national mourning.
The gesture has sparked widespread reactions online, with many Kenyans commending the government’s support for the late artist’s children.
