Githeri man needs urgent help or his addiction will finish him- Drug counsellor tells Kenyans

Martin Kamotho, popularly known as Githeri Man, needs your help now more than ever because he needs rehabilitation and medical attention.

According to Sgt Moses Kimenchu, a drug and addiction counselor who visited him at his home in Kayole, Githeri man is in stage five of addiction – the habitual stage.

“The man requires urgent medical attention, mentorship and counselling before his case gets out of hand,” Sgt Kimenchu told the Nation in Murang’a.

This comes just weeks after Githeri man was spotted in town drunk and had blacked out. He was being ferried in a trolly, an image that quickly went viral on social media.

Martin Kamotho aka Githeri man

Kimenchu said he decided to look for him after he saw these photos but getting him back for rehab hasn’t been easy because of sponsors and other related parties.

“Even after rehabilitation, Mr Kamotho went back to his usual living area. There was no follow up from the rehab’s management, and then the man was already frustrated by the various sponsors who had hired him to advertise their products but failed to pay him yet people perceive him as a rich man. He must have turned back to drinking to run away from criticism and questions,” Kimenchu said.

Adding:

“Mr Kamotho, like any middle-level Kenyan, requires finance literacy skills to know how to utilise the money, especially since it was his first time to get such a huge amount of money,” he said.

Githeri Man denies he was drunk as a fish, claims it was a joke: “I am a comedian. I wanted to entertain people”

Githeri man, real name Martin Kamotho, has come out to deny that a picture doing rounds on social media showing him being ferried in a trolly in town is actually what guys think it was.

Speaking in an interview on K24, Kamotho who has been on social media and blogs several times for allegedly being too drunk, said that he was just playing around when he was carried on the trolly. He wasn’t drunk.

“I did not do anything wrong. If anything, it was me who asked to be put on a trolley. I am a comedian, and I wanted to entertain my people by pretending that I am a wealthy man being ‘chauffeured around’.” he said.

Guilty

He, however, confessed that there was a time he was drinking a lot after some of the business owners and companies, who had pledged to help him financially failed to fulfill their promises.
