Italian girl Lucia Alessandra became the talk of the city when she declared her undying love for souped-up matatus dubbed nganya. She went against the grain of living large in Karen where her kin reside and decided to be a conductor of matatus operating the Kitengela route sometime back in 2016. But for several months now, Lucia has been missing her daily job of mingling with passengers. She has been unwell and off the road fas she seeks treatment.
Her medical appeal has been making rounds out platforms associated with matatus in the city, reaching out for assistance.
“It is true that I have been away from the matatus. I fell sick and taken to hospital, I was told that I have some gallstones in the gallbladder,” she told The Nairobian.
Even though she has been feeling unwell since 2017, Lucia said she never imagined that this will confine her at home.
