ACTRESS AWINJA REVEALS HER LATE DAD WAS A KANJO CLEANER

Celebrated actress Jacky Vike also known as  Awinja Nyamwalo celebrated her dad whom she said he gave her and her siblings the best of their lives despite doing an informal job. 

In an Instagram post, the actress disclosed that her late dad worked for Nairobi City Council as a cleaner, and would go months without pay but made sure Awinja and her siblings ate well and attended schools. 

The mother of one added that despite loving his alcohol, her dad was very responsible. “I don’t know how they managed with us. My mum and dad used to work for Nairobi City Council as a cleaner and they would go months without pay but we ate and attended school. He liked drinking and on a day like this he would be drinking but he was the most responsible father I knew. If he would be alive, I would have gotten him a drink,” wrote Awinja. 

She added that her departed dad loved education and he was keen on matters revolving around his kids’ education, further disclosing that he was a staunch churchgoer. “He liked education and he would get into the house even at night and the first thing he would ask for was our books. He was a churchgoer and you would not miss to spot us attending Sunday school classes at Waudo Friends Church in California but most of the times we attended Shinta-Ram,” she added. 

Awinja concluded by highlighting how much her dad loved travelling upcountry. “He loved the upcountry and every time we closed school he would immediately send us upcountry. He loved Isikuti and his club was Homeboyz Luhya Club. But most of all he was and still is the most caring, loving Father to us. We do miss him a lot,. Happy Father’s Day Baba yangu David Chagali Kigarave. Keep Resting in peace.”
