This comes a surprise to many as the number of beggars storming the city of Nairobi is alarming. Most Nairobians have questioned their legibility as some are hired by people to come and gather cash and in the evening picked.
Same here. Saw him play racing games on the phone last week. Few months ago, someone was uploading music on his smartphone.

This has raised eyebrows to a number of people who are willing to lend a hand as the they feel reluctant when they learn of the staging of the beggars to do it for other people have capabilities. The beggars are used as a source of income to people.

They place the disabled people in different locations who pose as desperate people who are in dire need of help but in the end the cash end up in other people’s pockets.
Sometimes back my father felt dizzy when we were coming from the hospital,the guards at archives gave us some water and place to sit. God bless them abundantly!

Most Kenyans on Twitter (KOT)have expressed their concern about this specific beggar who seems quite familiar to many Nairobians around CBD.
I know the boy being fed so well, sorry to say but his father is the one who has placed him on the streets. Its not just him but they are about 20 and each one has a target of 3k to 4k to collect per day. He brutalizes them if the target is not reached. He pays handlers 400ksh.

Although other people have congratulated the guard for his gesture of lending a hand to the beggar .
Isn't it funny how people have moved the discussion from the guard's gesture to the boy and whoever brings him there?
