A death sentence sanctioned by Sharia law is set to befall Stevo and close the chapter of his 50-year eventful stay on earth if the amount is not raised on time.
His fate, therefore, very much lies in the ability to raise 3.5 million Saudi Riyals (about Sh123 million) which has been an arduous task, the family said.
As Stephen Bertrand Munyakho — a Kenyan on death row in Saudi Arabia — inches closer to his date with destiny, a committee established to marshal support to save his life is appealing to President William Ruto to intervene.
With the May 15 (next Wednesday) deadline quickly approaching, family, friends and relatives are faced with the gigantic task of raising the “blood money” that must be paid before Mr Munyakho, who is fondly known as Stevo, can be released.
