Francis Kimani, the man who made 'Bonoko" Kenya's name of the year is a former street urchin whom, since his eyewitness recount about a killing in Ngara, Nairobi went viral, has seen his life take a positive turn.
Nobody would have expected that Kimani's eyewitness recount would be so popular that it was turned into a song and even has two videos.
Thanks to his funny accent and slur, Kimani became a phenomenal and it was then that former rapper Maji Maji, now working at Ghetto Radio decided to do an unconventional thing and gave Kimani a job as a presenter.
Citizen's Job Mwaura tracked him down and got to understand his story. He has quite a heartrending story and we need more of these stories if we are to keep our youth from "kuwekerewo bonoko".
