color:black'> The story deserves kudos and not criticism. It was a sensitive
story well done because it resulted to positive outcome. We saw the power
of a human interest story when Conjestina’s plight was highlighted and
the support she has received thereafter. Such are stories that encourage heroes
and heroines who have made the country proud but for some reason or another are
struggling with issues they could be assisted with be bold to share and remove
the veil of silence or shame so that they can be assisted. After all, they are
also human. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Hi<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>For years, sports media has covered the gory plight our heroes go through
after being abandoned after their glory days are over. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Conjestina has suffered for the last two years with repeated promises she
would be taken care of that have not been followed through. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Unmasking her plight for all to see has had the desired impact of finally
landing her the help she much needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We can report she is currently undergoing top notch health care and the
goodwill donations especially from Kenyans on Twitter will go a long way in
salvaging one of the country's icons.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Sports stars such as Frank Bruno and Paul Gascoigne have benefitted from
such exposure in Britain and following years of silent demand for action, time
has come to expose the grim reality suffered by our sportspersons.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In this regard, I consider criticism of the media over Conjestina ill
advised.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Regards<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Guys,<br>
<br>
I felt saddened watching video footage of Conjestina on TV yesterday. I think
the local media continue to display high level of irresponsibility. Was it
really necessary to show the videos on national TV. Assuming she is just
mentally disturbed and hoping that she will get well what would be her reaction
to such videos which have already gone viral.<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
James<br>
