Nacada Director Vincent Mwasia Mutua aka Chipukeezy has come to the rescue of ailing boxer Conjestina Acheing after a public outcry.
Chipukeezy, who is a member to the Board of Directors at the National Authority for the Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NACADA), has promised to help the former boxer get medical attention.
Through his social media pages, the comedian disclosed that he had spoken to Conjestina’s family and he would pick her from Kisumu on Friday.

The 40 year-old boxer was one of the most recognizable faces of female boxing in Kenya who gained a reputation for her fierce fights that attracted huge crowds countrywide.
