Kind Man Builds Borehole so that People in his Village Won't go Far in Search of Water, Video Melts Hearts
- A man identified as Jalang'o revealed he set up a waterpoint for people in his community as a way of giving back
- The comedian said he had tanks worth 15k litres that were holding water in his village home yet he was hardly at home
- His fans commended him for his huge heart and compassion in helping others and making life easier for people in his village
Comedian turned politician Felix Odiwuor popularly known as Jalang'o has thrilled people in his community after setting up a water point outside his village to cater for those walking long distances in search of water.
The comedian shared a video showing off his huge palatial home and a tap set up outside his fenced compound.
Jalango's kind gesture
"When I was building my village home, I put up tanks with 10k litres and 5k litres. You see most of the time I am not in the house or I just come over during the weekend. So we decided how we can make the community happy. So we came and decided to create a water point. What used to hurt me was I would see people going to fetch water in the river yet there was water here (in his compound)," he said.
