In Kenya, it is a common phenomena to hold a contribution ceremony, it was better coined during the early days of our independence, better known as Harambee philosophy.
This Harambee idea is so common that even strangers can feel for your financial needs and send you money via your phone, and life goes on…
However, with a country that experiences high rate of unemployment , con-men have taken advantage of the Harambee philosophy. They send you heartfelt messages, only to send money to the wrong person!
So, former Starehe MP aspirant, activist Boniface Mwangi, has been brushed off on the wrong nerve with this kind of messages send to and from strangers.
He just told them off, send your Harambee messages to people who are close to you!
Don't waste too much money on an expensive wedding unless you can fund it. Spend cash on your honeymoon and the new house you're moving to. pic.twitter.com/pYURHS5dpI

If you can't afford an expensive wedding,don't beg. Go to the attorney general office, have a small ceremony. It will cost you 10k maximum. pic.twitter.com/Nnliu9uqEr

If you're going to pay dowry,only ask your close friends,family for support. Sending strangers messages asking for dowry money is wrong! pic.twitter.com/B2lUvyaqcn
