He could easily replace the rest since they were copies of his original documents, but his passport would be difficult to apply for since it seemed new.

It would cost him some extra cash to replace his passport.

Ochenge wrote:

"Wadau naomba mnisaidie hapa. Kindly help me find Maxwell Njoroge Njenga. Jana aliangusha documents zake tao na one of us collected them. Comrades from Karatina University, kindly circulate this so he can get his passport. It's barely been a month since he received it. Maybe he was planning to use it soon, and replacing a new one right now can cost him big time. You can contact me on 0727755263?"

A section of Kenyans hailed the influencer for spreading positivity with his acts.

Others gave tips on how to make sure you never lose your passport. For one, you could have a sticker on the back of your passport with your contact information.
