Baba Talisha, a prominent figure on TikTok, organized a fundraiser that amassed KSh 8 million for Brian Chira's family. During a live TikTok session, he transparently outlined how a portion of the funds was utilized.
Out of the total amount, Baba T disclosed that KSh 1.2 million was expended, with the remainder securely stored. He ensured accountability by presenting bank statements from Equity Bank and M-Pesa to his followers, fulfilling his promise to demonstrate the funds' allocation.
The breakdown of expenses for Chira's funeral included KSh 60,000 for transportation and a significant portion for catering. "We spent KSh 498,125 on various food items, initially budgeted for 600-700 people, but due to increased attendance, additional provisions were necessary," Baba Talisha explained. Additionally, a deposit of KSh 105,000 was made to Altar Funeral Services, with an additional KSh 29,000 to settle outstanding balances.
Acknowledging vendors' claims for damages incurred during the ceremony, Baba T disclosed that after settling debts, the remaining balance stood at KSh 7.2 million.
Furthermore, Baba T highlighted the urgency of relocating Chira's grandmother, as she received notice to vacate her current residence by the fifth month. This underscores the need for prompt action to facilitate her relocation.
Recently, Kabu, among other well-wishers, expressed support by offering Chira's grandmother and Baba Talisha a fully-sponsored three-day holiday at the coast. This gesture followed Baba Talisha's extensive efforts in organizing Chira's funeral and raising over KSh 5 million.
