How did PS Raymond Omollo help Ras Bhingi?

Previously, PS Omollo came to the rescue of reggae celebrity Ras Bhingi.

The short-statured man had been struggling to pay KSh 2,500 rent in Thika and was almost being evicted.

The PS, through his empowerment programme, cleared Bhingi's two months' rent arrears and even moved him to a better apartment in Ruiru and paid his one year's rent.

A few months later, Bhingi abandoned the one-bedroom apartment and relocated to Mathare slums, citing lack of job opportunities in Ruiru. He also shared that getting food was a challenge, asking the PS for a job so as to fend for himself.
