Monday, May 4, 2026 - Boxing legend, Conjestina Achieng, is struggling in her rural home and has been reduced to begging following a decline in her mental health.
A video shared online shows the once-celebrated boxer
approaching a motorist in Yala while appearing disoriented and pleading for
financial help.
In the clip, Conjestina laments that she has been forgotten
after relocating to the village, adding that she spends most of her time
loitering around.
Moved by her situation, the motorist gives her some money
and even requests a selfie.
From the video, concerns have been raised about her mental
health and overall well-being.
Efforts had previously been made by former Nairobi Governor
Mike Sonko to support her, including taking her to rehabilitation and offering
her a job.
However, Sonko’s intervention did not have lasting success
after she relapsed, months after coming out of rehab in Mombasa.
