A Kenyan lady who held a fund raising last Saturday did not fake her brother’s death as has been alleged by some Kenyans who have called KSB. According to these Kenyans, the lady duped Kenyans that her brother died in Kenya so that she could raise funds to travel to Kenya to make ma pepe for her Kenyan boyfriend. This is not true.
According to investigations by KSB, the lady travelled to Kenya yesterday Thursday October 23rd and is scheduled to attend her brother’s burial tomorrow Saturday 25th October. Stories that the Kenyan may have duped Wakenya that her brother died are not true.
KSB has talked to Mrs. Florence Asum, a close relative of the lady, who has been horrified by stories doing the rounds that the lady may have duped Kenyans. Florence told KSB that anybody in doubt should call her for further information. The lady lost her elder brother out of illness.
It has been necessary to publish this information to clear the air in relation to the bereavement. In the past, cases where Kenyans are alleged to have taken fellow countrymen for a ride claiming that their close relatives had died have surfaced.
Florence agreed with KSB that it is necessary to put the record straight and shame all those Kenyans who are spoiling the names of their fellow countrymen even at times of grief and great shock.
