- Truphena Muthoni hugged a tree for 72 hours to protest against the destruction of the environment in the country and caused activities in Nyeri town to stop
- Pastor James Irungu followed the example, but he chose to spread awareness about the increasing cases of cancer in the country, although he passed out after the 79th hour
- Finally, Flora Onyango came and broke Truphena’s previous record, which has not yet been confirmed by Guinness World Records

According to the girl, the endless corruption situation in the country motivated her to take this step and she hugged a tree for 74 hours to show her resistance.
Also, Onyango was taken to the hospital immediately after completing the fight.
His action came after that of Pastor James Irungu, who spread awareness against cancer but his kidneys failed in the 79th hour of his challenge.
Until now, there have been others who are taking steps related to strengthening marriages, spreading awareness about cancer, and even raising funds to treat a sick relative.
The girl spoke about her preparation, which raised questions for many people after the challenge of Pastor James Irungu.
What questions did the Kenyans ask?
When some Kenyans heard that Onyango completed the challenge, they asked if she was able to maintain her strength while the girl initially admitted that she did not prepare well.
Another question that arose is why hugging trees is becoming popular for people who want to address the country’s problems.
Others asked how he will continue his agenda after this.
How did Kenyans feel about this story?
- Wakoli Barasa: “Nekesa Khalayi, the Bungoma government has failed us. I think if he was Nekesa Khalayi they would have gone.”
- Muindi Charles G Okello: “You will die of trees and hug trees.”
- Simon Simba Wa Maraka: “By the way, you have also seen that there is corruption here in Kenya. And it is not going to end, maybe they are taming.”
- Charles Mwangala:
- Mike Tyson: “You gave him brufen.”
- Phillipe Courtinho: “People will disturb us.”
