Embakasi East Member of Parliament (MP) Babu Owino on Monday warned Nairobians about a man who has been masquerading as a constituency official.
Describing the man as a conman, MP Owino outlined that the man had already swindled Embakasi East constituents claiming to be the Constituency Development Fund Chairman.
"It has been brought to my attention that one Jeff Ouna has been masquerading as the current Embakasi East CDF chairman and the constituency chairman and has gone ahead to con people based on the aforementioned titles.
"Members of the public are hereby warned to avoid any transactions with the said person on behalf of the constituency or myself as the current member of Parliament for Embakasi East Constituency," the MP tweeted.

He went on to ask anyone who had fallen prey to the man's schemes to get in contact with relevant authorities for further action.
"I encourage anyone who has been duped by the aforementioned individual to report the matter to police and follow up on the same with me by dropping an email through info@babuowino.co.ke," he stated.
In December 2017, the National Government CDF Board (NG-CDF) gazetted names of 290 constituency fund managers.
Parliament also approved a seven-member committee in each constituency to oversee the management of the fund.
Each committee has two youth representatives, one person with living with a disability, two men and two women.
The managers were appointed to serve for two years and their term will end in 2020.
