Tuesday, October 13, 2026 - Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has appealed to the Canadian Embassy to help a Canadian national who has reportedly been stranded on the streets of Nairobi for two years after falling victim to a business scam.
According to Mosiria, the man was
persuaded to invest in a tree-planting venture in Kenya after being promised
substantial returns.
However, upon arriving in the
country, he reportedly discovered that the promised business did not exist.
Mosiria said the business
arrangement dates back seven years and urged the Canadian Embassy to intervene
and help the man return home.
He also cautioned foreigners against
sending money to people they meet online without first verifying their
identities and business dealings, warning that misplaced trust can lead to
significant financial losses.
The county official thanked Kenyans who have so far contributed KSh7,000 towards assisting the stranded Canadian and appealed for additional support to raise money for his air ticket back to Canada.
