In a heartwarming display of solidarity, a bodaboda rider in Nairobi declined to accept fare money from Kasmuel McOure. "Siwezi chukua hiyo pesa," which simply translates to "I cannot take that money.

" The influential activist had just won a significant court case connected to the ongoing nationwide anti-government protests. McClure, widely recognized for his efforts in advocating for the rights of Kenyans, was arrested during one of the protests but emerged victorious after a long legal battle.

After the court ruling, McOure, still processing his momentous win, hailed a bodaboda to take him home. The rider instantly recognized him and, with a smile, declined the payment, saying...

 “Brother, you’ve fought a good fight. Today, your ride is on me. I’m happy with what you’re doing for our country.”

McOure was visibly touched by the rider's gesture, expressing deep gratitude and happiness. He shared that the support from everyday Kenyans, like the bodaboda rider, was a driving force behind his fight for justice.


The story quickly gained traction on social media, with many applauding the bodaboda rider for his generosity and solidarity. During one of his many interviews, Kasmuel revealed he has plans of venturing into politics in 2027.
