Following the viral criticisms from the public, the former governor has promised to go back  to the drawing board and help the former boxer the third time.

My heart is bigger than myself. At times, I fail to control it for the love I have for the people especially the less fortunate, and I think this is the reason I initially gave Conjee the first, second, and now may be I will be forced to give a third and final chance.” He added.

Media personality Radull visited former boxer’s family in early January 2024 and shared pictures on social media alleging Conjestina had returned back to her previous insane life.

“On 2nd Jan, I visited my friend Conjestina Achieng in her shags in Yala. She’s been there about 2 months and is back to her same lifestyle. 😔 She has good days and bad days.”
When I arrived she was having a bad day but her face lit up when she saw me and we chatted for a long time as best we could. I tried with my layman ability to gently encourage her to “clean up her act”.
“Many have tried to help her but none of us have succeeded in a long term solution to her predicament. I concede it’s out of my capability 😔” Radull said.
The boxer has been battling Schizoaffective disorder, a mental disability for couple of years since she went off media. Following her illness, several persons have been coming in help her though the journey looks hectic.
