According to Hon Mario Nderi, a Facebook user, the two boarded a matatu heading to Thika road.
Tragedy struck when the little boy started convulsing while in the vehicle registered under GNT Sacco.
The grandma started panicking forcing the tout and passengers to act fast.
“This afternoon, a woman was coming from Gatundu Level Five hospital where she had taken her grandson for therapy and had boarded this young man's matatu. On reaching Theta club along Gatundu to Thika road, the baby started convulsing and the granny panicked,” Nderi explained.
Passengers pleaded with the driver and his tout to rush the little one to Neema Hospital.
Surprisingly, the matatu crew obliged and quickly zoomed off to the healthcare facility.
The tout even decided to be kinder and carried the little boy to an examination room inside the hospital and stayed for a while as they waited for a doctor to arrive.
“What shocked many is that one of the passengers asked the driver to rush to Neema hospital in Kahawa Sukari-Engen and he agreed. This young man and his tout did not hesitate or question and drove off to the hospital,” Nderi added.
Kenyans piled praises on the two kind strangers who chose life over money and helped save the innocent child.
Doctors at Neema thanked the crew for acting quickly as their actions ensured the little boy lived to see another day.
