Until her sudden death earlier in the week, Betty had been secretly battling blood cancer.
Her passing has shaken not only her family and friends but also the wider community that looked up to her strength, voice, and determination to uplift others.
Even in her absence, Betty continues to influence the lives of those she cared about. Yesterday’s meeting between Virtuous Explorers chief executive Sarah Mtalii and lawyer Mwenda Njagi brought into focus an important decision concerning Betty’s long-standing role with the organisation.
As a Brand Ambassador at Virtuous Explorers, Betty had a contract that the management agreed would remain active even after her death.
This was meant to honour her legacy and ensure that the projects she championed would continue without interruption.
After the funeral, Tash, together with Pastor Kanyari, will meet with the Virtuous Explorers leadership to discuss a new contract extension for young Sky Victor.
The aim of this agreement is to secure the future of Sky Victor and Dany, two children who meant the world to Betty.
Supporters feel that this step shows how much Betty wanted the children to have a secure and hopeful future in case she was no longer around to guide them.
Many have applauded Sarah Mtalii for standing with the family during this difficult period. The move has been seen as a humane gesture that acknowledges Betty’s contribution and respects her memory.
As comforting messages continue to flow in, Kenyans are reminded of the powerful mark Betty Bayo has left behind: a legacy of music, faith, and love that will outlive her physical presence.
