The MP disclosed that comedian Sylvia Savai, alias Senjee, was set to travel to the US for endometriosis treatment but her visa application was declined.
In his plea, Jalang’o urged Whitman to intervene and help the comedian secure a visa, adding that she has been raising money for her treatment.

“This morning she has been denied a visa! Kindly let your good office help! We just lost an endo warrior yesterday! Kindly hear her cry,” Jalang’o said.
Senjee is raising Ksh 12 million for endometriosis treatment in the US, “She’s battling a condition known as endometriosis which is causing her to paralyse on the right side of her body every month during her menses, that has caused some of her organs to fail, she has to undergo two surgeries.
“She is in need of specialised treatment in the u.s which is supposed to take place in June 2024. The treatment estimation is Ksh 12 million and Senjee needs your help,” a poster shared to the public read.
In an interview on Obinna TV, Senjee shared challenges that she faces in creating content due to her frequent bouts of illness.
“I’m seeking financial help and mostly your prayers to get through this. Well, I’m scared but najifanya tu vile siogopi. Lately, I’ve been unable to create content because most of the time I’m sick, sometimes I just can’t get out of bed and do anything. It’s stressing me out but I’m holding on to hope because I know I’ll emerge a winner,” she said.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by the growth of tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) outside the uterus.
This tissue responds to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, leading to inflammation, scarring, and pain.
The exact cause of endometriosis is unknown, but several theories suggest that it may be caused by retrograde menstruation, cellular metaplasia or stem cells. S
Symptoms include severe pain during periods, sexual intercourse, bowel movements and urination, as well as infertility and heavy bleeding.
It is important to note that endometriosis hugely affects a person’s daily life and overall well-being.
The chronic pain and discomfort associated with endometriosis can lead to fatigue, making it difficult to perform daily tasks and maintain a normal routine.
Endometriosis can also cause significant emotional distress, including depression, anxiety and feelings of isolation.
Additionally, endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility in women, as the disease can cause scarring and adhesions that can block the fallopian tubes, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
Additionally, the chronic pain and discomfort associated with endometriosis can strain relationships with partners, friends and family members.
