Ex-girlfriend gives Chris KSh 100
In a TikTok video, Kim said he was due to sign in at work in the evening.

"I met an ex-girlfriend, and she gave me KSh 100; I went and bought sukuma wiki, tomatoes, and dhania. I decided to go inside a local pub called Kwa Irungu and say hi to friends while taking a glass of beer. Each glass of beer cost KSh 25," explained the former Safaricom employee.
Chris narrated that when he stepped into the pub, people started buying alcohol for him, and before he knew it, it was already 3 am.
Safaricom manager tries to call Chris
"A call centre manager had tried calling me. I had gone as far as where the brothel was to go and ask the ladies to sleep with me on credit. I entered the house at 4am and sold my sofa to my neighbour in the morning," said Chris.

"I went to a pub called Aston Villa and that is the last time I went to Safaricom. They really looked for me, asked my sister Angela, but I was nowhere to be seen. The termination letter was given to my sister.
Safaricom had already sent Chris's salary to his account, and that is how he lost his job.
"My colleagues are now managers, but I always say God had a purpose. If I had stayed there I would have drunk myself to death and wouldn't have helped other people in the rehab," said Chris.
"It was a big loss, my family was disappointed," said Chris who now urges alcoholics to seek help and stop blame games.

Chris celebrates being sober for 5 years
In February 2022, Chris celebrated five years of being sober. The young man had been hooked on alcohol for years, and his life had taken a downward trajectory.
The more hopeless he got, the thirstier he became, until he got drunk one day and lost the laptop that was his only source of living.
He took it upon himself to change his life for the better and celebrated five years of sobriety.
