The comedian had appealed for help from Kenyans saying he risked differing his studies.

Nairobi Governor Johson Sakaja has come to the aid of a comedian famed for impersonating Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Comedian Zakaria Waithira also known as Mr KK MKwenyewe had taken to his Instagram page saying he risked differing his studies if he does not clear the fee balance of Sh10,900 he owed Kisii University.

"Hello, my friends and my fans, despite being a content creator, and comedian I'm also a student at Kisii university and in my 3rd year, facing fees challenges. We've been pushed to the corner by the school administration that we either pay 100 per cent of the fees by 30th October or we differ," he wrote on his Instagram page a few days ago.

He further said:

"My parents have nowhere to get this money and I hereby ask people to help me contribute Sh10,900 so I can complete my fees to avoid deferment of my studies."

On Sunday however, the comedian took to his Instagram page to confirm that the fees had been sorted.

He said Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja had cleared the fee arrears even as he thanked Kenyans for standing with him since he raised the matter.

"My people and my fans, I'm a grateful man today! After I posted my issue of fees many of you came on to offer help nawashukuru sana wote (I am very grateful)," he wrote on Instagram.

"@jsakaja asante kwa kulipa my fee may god bless you. Mimi kitu naeza fanya tuu kuwashukuru tuu ni wafurahishe na content asanteni sana (Governor Sakaja, thanks for paying my fees... What I can only do for you all is to entertain you with more content. Thanks a lot)," he wrote.
