A comedian has embarked on using his talent to offer solace and encouragement to children affected by banditry in the North Rift.
Vitalis Kiplagat, 27, who goes by the stage name ‘Senge Helena’ (Aunt Helena), is putting smiles on the faces of the children who have borne the full brunt of the runaway insecurity, with some of their colleagues being shot dead by the armed bandits.
On a typical day, Kiplagat can be seen dressed in women’s attire, complete with full head gear, which is resonating well with his audience.
