Benson Kiengei has reaffirmed his commitment to gifting TikToker Kaluma Boy a new home, revealing that the construction is nearly complete and will be officially handed over in March.
The bishop, popularly known as Bishop Ben Kiengei, shared encouraging updates alongside photos showing the impressive progress made on the house he had earlier promised to build for the young content creator and his father.
The images indicate that the structure is in its final stages, signaling that the long-awaited project is close to completion.
Taking to his Facebook page on the evening of Wednesday, February 25, the man of God posted a number of photos showing the house nearing its completion.
In his post, Kiengei assured Kaluma Boy that the project is on course and that he is personally satisfied with how the work has progressed.
He captioned the update:
“Kaluma Boy Ke we are almost there, Next Month iam officially handing over your home and your farm title deed…… Today i have visited the site and iam convinced that the Compassionate Gospel has done Justice….. We are on the course…..#Askofu001”
In the caption, Kiengei not only confirmed the March handover but also revealed that Kaluma Boy will receive a farm title deed alongside the new house, a gesture that underscores the bishop’s intention to secure the young man’s future beyond temporary assistance.
Kiengei’s post came just hours after Kaluma Boy received massive criticism from netizens after sharing photos of himself enjoying a burger.
A section of online users blasted him, accusing him of embracing a “soft life” using money that had earlier been contributed by well-wishers to support his struggling family.
Many Kenyans had donated money for Kaluma Boy after he opened up about his difficult circumstances, particularly his efforts to care for his ailing father.
His story touched many hearts, prompting an outpouring of financial and material support from members of the public.
However, his recent social media post showing him enjoying a simple treat sparked debate online.
While some defended him, arguing that he deserves to enjoy small comforts despite his challenges, others questioned how the donated funds were being used.
Amid the backlash, Bishop Kiengei’s update appeared to shift the focus back to the larger picture, the transformation taking place in Kaluma Boy’s life.
The bishop had been among the prominent figures who publicly promised to support the TikToker, pledging to build him a decent house as a lasting solution to his family’s housing struggles.
With the latest photos showing a nearly finished home, supporters have expressed hope that the March handover will mark a new chapter for Kaluma Boy and his father.
If completed as promised, the project will stand as one of the most significant outcomes of the online fundraising effort that rallied Kenyans around the young man’s story.
As March approaches, all eyes will now be on the official handover ceremony, a moment that could symbolize not just the fulfillment of a promise, but the power of collective goodwill and faith in action.
