Kepher Okoth Ooko, a humble boda boda mechanic from Migori County, has become an overnight sensation after snagging a colossal Ksh 5 million from Safaricom’s sensational Shinda Mamilii Kama Bingwa promotion.
This extraordinary stroke of luck not only made Ooko a millionaire but also gifted him an additional Ksh 1 million to champion a community project of his choice.
The 24-year-old mechanic’s life-changing win was announced on Friday, September 6, making headlines and capturing the imagination of many Kenyans.
Ooko clinched the grand prize after buying Ksh 20 data bundles, an entry that propelled him into the spotlight and turned him into one of Safaricom’s newest millionaires.
With his newfound wealth, Ooko plans to transform his life dramatically.
He’s set to open a state-of-the-art garage, fulfill his dream of building a new home, and kickstart a transport business.
But that’s not all.
Ooko will also channel the additional KSh 1 million into a remarkable community initiative, focusing on renovating local classrooms and providing clean water to his village.
Safaricom’s generous promotion doesn’t end with Ooko.
The telecom giant has also made waves by announcing Naomi Cherono Kosiom from Bomet and Margaret Wamaitha Kanjabi from Naivasha as winners of Ksh 1 million each.
To further sweeten their victories, both winners received an additional Ksh 250,000 each to support community development projects of their choosing.
