Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna recently captivated Kenyans after a throwback video of him reminiscing about his former girlfriend, Cynthia, resurfaced online.
In the clip, the ODM party secretary general opens up about his early life struggles, revealing that he once lived in a servant quarter in South B with limited financial means. It was during this period that he met Cynthia, a nurse and student at the Cicely McDonell College of Health Sciences at The Nairobi Hospital.
Sifuna praised Cynthia’s selflessness, sharing how despite her exhausting night shifts, she would always come home and care for him first. He described her as the first person who truly loved him.
Before the story became public, Sifuna contacted Cynthia, who humorously warned him not to "burn" her with the revelation. This candid exchange amused many online.
