Kafengo revealed that they had received KSh 153,000 against a budget of KSh 3 million.
The content creator did not provide details on the costly budget.
"Up to now using the till number we have received KSh 153,000, and we are thankful for the small contributions. However, considering the budget is KSh 3 million we still have a huge gap to fill for those who consider him as a friend and also his fans let us do this so that we can remove the burden from the family and give him a good proper send off. I know we can. Let us keep pushing," he added.
Netizens react to Kafengo's message
Some fans questioned why they set the burial budget at KSh 3 million. Here is what they had to say:
Mkenya Wanjiku:
"Please first tell us what happened before this issue of pay bill Kafengo. So many people are waiting to hear what happened to the comedian that we loved."
Shadyz Deluck:
"Naomba kujua pia kama KK Mwenyewe alikuwa na mjunior ama mpoa, may rest in peace."
Freeman Jay:
"Ebu elezea vizuri hio 3milion ni ya nini kwa mazishi watu waelewe."
Mkenya Wanjiku:
"Hakuna mtu wa familia unaeza reach out ndio tuone mko pamoja."
Sam Bizzoh Wasari:
"This energy ungeleta KK akiwa mgonjwa we support apate meds fiti."
Gilbert Kibet Ronoh:
"This one hit you big bro all will be well Mungu akue nanyi hii wakati."
Did Rigathi Gachagua mourn KK?
In other news, the former deputy president mourned the demise of the comedian.
One of KK's dreams was to meet Gachagua, but sadly, that never happened.
A section of Kenyans criticised Gachagua for recognising KK after his demise.
Some recalled how he was quick to employ the Riggy G coiner, Ivy Chelimo, and 'neglect' the boy child.
The politician is yet to address the negative criticism he received from Kenyans.
