When and where will Betty Bayo be buried?
His sudden death at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) not only left a void in his family but also in the music industry.
Meetings have continued to be held before his funeral on Thursday, November 20, at his property in Mugumo Estate, along Kiambu Road.
During these meetings, mourners remembered a woman who always volunteered and showed up.
“His name is Waitherero. He has been attending Betty Bayo’s funeral meetings since day one, traveling from Kayole to Roasters, Thika Road, every day. Waitherero has happily contributed KSh 100 to each meeting, which has been easily seen,” the Facebook post said.
Karangu Muraya awarded Waitherero KSh 5,000
The woman stood between two men, one a donor and a Kikuyu gospel singer Muraya peanuts.
He stood in the middle of the hall as mourners surrounded him, praising him for his sacrifice throughout.
They wanted to reward him for his dedication and steadfastness, which inspired many and touched hearts.
“Today, the chairman of the funeral committee blessed him with KSh 10,000, while Karangu Muraya gave him KSh 5,000. Other donations were also made to appreciate him, and Waitherero has now left with more than KSh 20,000,” the post said.
Netizens were moved by Waithero’s dedication
The clever gesture was warmly received and celebrated by social media users, who were delighted by the kindness shown to him.
They flocked to the comment section with positive messages as a response.
Mary Nyambura:
“Whoa, he’s my friend. He has a good heart. Imagine him coming to my store, buying a big soda and asking me to give it to him. Waitherero!”
Rosalina Ndwiga:
“He was fulfilling the scripture that says, ‘Give, and you will receive, a good measure shaken together.’ That’s what he received.”

“This is how God works. I also bless him with my prayers for a bright future in Jesus name.”
