On Thursday, June 1 Kenya celebrated her 54th Madaraka Day and the celebrations were held at Kabiruini grounds in Nyeri County.

Both the young and old turned up for the event and apart from the dignitaries who attended, one woman stole the show. Nyaguthi, a lady from Kieni was pictured carrying a 107-year-old grandmother Gladys Kagure from Labura, Mweiga, Nyeri County on her back as they arrived at the Madaraka Day celebrations.

Many have been moved by the good samaritan's action and a top government figure wants to meet her and appreciate her for a good job.

"Actions speak louder than words...Share widely...Am seeking your help in tracing this lady who I captured while carrying her elderly mother to Kabiru - ini showground for the Madaraka day celebrations on June 1, 2017.....

Someone in the government recognized her noble deed and would like to meet her urgently.

If you know her or someone who might assist in reaching her kindly call/text me on 0720274075 my name is Mose Sammy. Your help is highly appreciated in advance God Bless," Mose Sammy the photographer who took the pic posted on Facebook. 

Nyaguthi was eventually traced. Apparently, she is not related to the granny as many speculated. They are total strangers.

Well, Kenyans are happy with the woman for helping the elderly woman and here are some of the heartwarming comments;

Wacu: This picture speaks a thousand words, for the many people out there in the world doing good expecting nothing in return. This may seem like a little act of kindness...not for those who get it.

Both Cucu and the lady carrying her are communicating different things to our world today. A so much needed care for each other as a people and the dire need to acknowledge who we are, as a country, where we've come from.

I speaketh a million rewards to you ladies!

Michael: He was short in stature and so was unable to see Jesus through the crowd. Zachaeus then ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree along Jesus' path. When Jesus reached the spot he looked up into the branches, and saith Zacchaeus come down. The crowd was shocked

Elizabeth: Such gestures are very rare nowadays where everyone is busy and minding their own business! This gives me hope in humanity. Such a lovely lady may God bless her abundantly!

Kimani: God bless her...hope we will get her and make her smile with a gift..

Susan: I think we should go back to our culture to be respecting our aged people like before. I salute the lady and may she be blessed
