A viral video showing two sisters crawling on the ground in Nandi County has triggered an immediate humanitarian response from Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Kipchumba Sudi, who has pledged financial and logistical support for the girls and other vulnerable families in the region.
The incident centres on Sharon Jeruto, 19, and her younger sister Gladys Jerubet, 14, residents of Tabolwa, who were born with cerebral palsy. The condition has left them unable to speak and severely limited their mobility, restricting their movement to crawling.
Sudi said he was “deeply touched” after viewing footage of the sisters circulating on social media. Moved by their condition, the MP tracked down Obidan Dela, the TikToker who filmed the video, and invited him to his office. During the meeting, Dela presented Sudi with a formal request to assist the family.
“I saw the video of Sharon and Gladys crawling, and I knew I had to act. They have never spoken, yet their struggle speaks volumes to our collective conscience,” Sudi said in a Facebook post on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.
How Sudi plans to help Nandi sisters with cerebral palsy
The MP has announced a three-part commitment to address the immediate and long-term needs of the crawling sisters. First, he pledged to personally stand with Sharon and Gladys, providing the necessary care and resources for their condition. Second, he committed to supporting an additional family in the county living with disability. Third, he promised to extend aid to two children’s homes in the area.
Sudi also confirmed his attendance at the “Kenyans for Kenyans Eldoret Edition” event, scheduled for July 19 at Eldoret Central Primary School in Uasin Gishu County. He stated that the gathering would serve as a platform to further advocate for persons with disabilities and mobilise community resources.
