Kenya's Trending Topics on April 4, 2018

Kenyans continued the discussion on suspected conman Wazir Chacha Benson even as Murang'a Woman Representative Sabina Chege dared him to release video footage of the two on Wednesday.

On the topic "Wazir Chacha", Kenyans shared some hilarious posts as they mocked elected government officials for being susceptible to the extortionist's scam.

Here are some of the funny posts that were shared.

Details of Chacha's alleged scam against Members of Parliament (MPs) were first discussed on the floor of the National Assembly when Ms Chege alerted her counterparts that someone has been impersonating her and soliciting for funds.

Former Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo had allegedly been duped out of thousands of shillings by scam artists who posed as the woman representative.

The former MP would later trap the culprits and have them arrested after he contacted the Murang'a legislator, who denied asking him for any money.

Prior to the extortion charges, Chacha had exposed former Bomet Woman Rep Cecilia Ng'etich as his estranged lover. The Nairobian later published an article alleging that the suspect had affairs with a number of other female MPs.
