Bonfire Adventures CEO exposes the street couple after defaming him

Simon Kabu, Bonfire Adventure CEO has cleared the air following the allegations that he neglected the street couple. This is after a story about the same was aired on KTN. His wife had also dismissed the allegations terming them as fake news.

Simon has given new details about the couple who have been accusing him of not fulfilling his promises towards them. Sammy Githae also known as Blackie and Virginia Njeri have been saying that they had been promised a car wash business which never happened despite their great efforts of following up.

Simon said that he tried hard to help the street couple secure a stable job and putting up a mitumba business for them, but his efforts turned futile. In his many encounters with Sammy, he was only interested in handouts and never wanted to commit himself to a serious job. He further stated that the two were given jobs outside of Nairobi but they turned down the offer.

He narrated; “I gave Blackie Ksh10, 000 to start a mitumba business in Githurai, but he didn’t put up the project. Mark you, he was the one who had made that suggestion. Later, a job opportunity as a driver at Bonfire came up. I asked Blackie if he had a driver’s license, and he said ‘yes’. However, when I asked him to show it to me, he would evade that topic. I offered to take him to a driving school, but he insisted that he was already a trained driver. I lost hope on him and gave the job to Wilson Mutura, the groom in the Ksh100 wedding which went viral in February, 2017.

Blackie, on the other hand, kept on asking me for money – all the time. I always gave him. Most of the time, he asked for cash in the range of Ksh2, 000 and Ksh3, 000 per occasion. I provided him with the amounts he asked for for almost one year, as he would show up at my office with claims of a problem or the other. Sometimes he would come to my office, and when I told him that I did not have the money he wanted, or I was in a meeting, he would stay around till evening. I wasn’t impressed by that.

Blackie needs to be admitted into a rehabilitation facility; that is what I think he really needs. If somebody would take him to rehab, he would be helped. I tried the much I could, but it, clearly, wasn’t good enough. I tried reaching them sometime back, but I could not because they had sold their phones.”
