Neighbours and well-wishers say his situation touched many people in the community, prompting appeals for help to Belgut Member of Parliament Nelson Koech.

According to residents, the MP responded by helping to build Lawrence a new house last month, giving him a safer and more comfortable place to live.

During the launch of the housing project, Koech also pledged to clear the hospital bill for Lawrence’s artificial leg replacement.

Lawrence gifted prosthetic leg

That promise became a reality today when Lawrence successfully received and fitted the artificial leg at AIC Litein Hospital, marking an emotional turning point in his recovery journey.

Witnesses at the hospital described scenes of joy as Lawrence took steps with his new prosthetic limb, smiling as he walked again after years of hardship.

“Thanks. Nimeshukuru sana kwa kuninunulia mguu,” Lawrence said emotionally after the fitting.

Doctors at the hospital confirmed that the procedure had gone well and that Lawrence would now be able to move around more freely.

In another heartwarming story from Kericho, what began as a humble appeal for a single donkey transformed into a remarkable story of generosity and community support.

Gilbert Kimutai, a transporter who had been left jobless after the donkeys he relied on were sold by their owner, had initially sought help through a public harambee to rebuild his livelihood.

His story began to change when Belgut MP Nelson Koech stepped in and fulfilled a promise to support him by delivering five donkeys to his rural home.
