| Sour end for fraudster |
|
By Karanja Njoroge It was the end of the road for a man who has been begging on the streets of Nakuru town under the pretext that he was suffering from kidney failure. Drama unfolded as irate residents who have for years donated money to assist the man go for dialysis realised he had been feigning the ailment. The man who had a ‘dialysis kit’ fixed on his stomach has been lying on the streets of Nakuru town begging for money from the public. The ‘beggar’ on Moi Road was exposed after a well-wisher who had Sh1, 000 note donated Sh100 and asked for the balance. The well wisher was shocked after the beggar who had been lying on the ground, writhing in pain rose up and majestically walked to the nearest shop arousing his suspicion. "It was then that I decided to ask for assistance from the public and on interrogating the man we realised he had been lying,’’ he said. He was frogmarched to the Nakuru Police Station where he admitted that he had been in the streets for two years. The ‘beggar’ was forced to undress and it was revealed he had used glue to fix pieces of goat liver and intestines on his stomach to feign a wound on his bulging stomach, which he claimed had swollen. The dialysis tube had been filled with a mixture of water and juice, which had been disguised as his urinary contents. The "beggar" whose name is Kamunya and hails from Naivasha said he was forced to the streets because of poverty. "I have been forced to go to the streets and fake illness after unsuccessfully looking for a job,’’ he said. Shocked members of the publi sought assistance from the police on how they could recover their donations. "I can’t believe that I have been fooled for all that time as I have been generously contributing to this man,’’ a resident Ms Monica Nyambura said. |

Can I ask for a significant percentage of my tax monies back on similar grounds?
Oh boy, S’mores!
LMAO!
It's amazing how a little glue and seasoning can turn goat entrails into a yummy side dish, isn't it?
(as well as a lucrative source of income for two years)
Wow. He did a great job. He could work as a makeup artist for the film industry with skills like that.
The Union would probably kick up a fuss, considering that he hasn't gone through an 'approved' Journeyman Makeup Artist program first.
Good idea though, we should phone Steven Spielberg and let him know about this guy

I think I see the face of Elvis in there somewhere.
