Kenyans have moved to social media to praise former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko.
This is after Kenyan boxer Conjstina Achieng fully recovered after being in a rehabilitation centre.
Ten years ago ‘Conje’ was on the verge of 'vanishing' as she faced financial and mental health issues since she left boxing in 2011.

In September 2022, the boxing champion was admitted to Mombasa Women Empowerment Network Hospital in Miritini.
She had been admitted to various facilities after her health and mental status deteriorated.
Sonko had come to the aid of the boxing champion after he visited her while she was at the hospital.
He gifted her with boxing equipment and admitted Conjestina to several rehabilitation centres including Nairobi County rehabilitation centres, Parklands, and Diani Beach.

Sonko noted that Conje's story is one of a fighter's spirit that refuses to be extinguished.
This week, Sonko announced that Conjestina landed a plum job as the head of his security at Salama Bling Beach resort in Kanamai.
He said Conjestina's recovery journey should serve as a reminder that everyone should be given a second chance.
On Thursday, Conjestina stepped out on the streets of Nairobi in style.
