A video has now emerged capturing the 25-year-old Strathmore University Law Student seeking the help of his friends to raise money for the fine.
He is heard asking one of his friends to come to his aid claiming that his father has declined to offer any help.
“My father has said I serve the jail sentence. But I do not take it against him because he has warned me many times to stay away from alcohol, so let me take my own cross,” he says.
