Former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has partly cleared the debts of a Mombasa police officer attached to Chaani Police Station who committed suicide and left behind an emotional suicide note.
The officer identified as RophusMwandowe killed himself and left a note telling his boss to treat his case as a normal one since he never wanted to live anymore.
“Kwa OCS, kwanza kabisa natoa shukrani zangu kwa ule mda tumefanya kazi pamoja. Yangu nikuwaambia mimi naona muda wangu wa kuuishi duniani umefika mwisho, sina any other reason, just take it as natural death and take me home sir,” the officer noted in the suicide note.
The Former Nairobi Governor, who has been moved by the developments, revealed that he has cleared the Ksh17,000 and Ksh50,000 debts that the deceased indicated on the suicide note he owed two people.
"Kwa leo not because of PR and show off but because I know how painful it is to lose a parent while you are still young I have decided to clear the 17k deni ya mpesa shop and 50k deni on behalf of the family," Sonko said.
The officer had directed his OCS to organize a fundraiser in which the funds raised should be used to offset the debts.
"Please treat this as a special case juu my family hawajui hiyo madeni. Those two women call them to your office," the note said.
Sonko added that he is willing to support the family with burial expenses so that the rest of the money raised during the fundraiser should be used to assist the family.
"I shall also be willing to give a coffin and hearse to transport the body of the late officer to its final resting place if the family and Changamwe Ocs accept my offer so that all the funeral funds that will be raised through WhatsApp groups and other forums go directly to help the family in other important issues like paying for school fees," the Former Governor added.
The officer also left a message to his family members where he said: " Nawapenda Sana japo singeweza kuwaaga, siku moja tutakutana. Msome kwa bidii an mungu awasaidie".
