Kenyans Bash MP Arama For Using a schoolboy in an embarrassing show of self-praise: Nakuru Town West Member of Parliament Samwel Arama has faced it rough this morning after sharing images from his projects inspection tour in his constituency.
In a post, Arama said that he had accompanied government officials to inspect various projects in the Kapkuret and Barut wards, while also in the company of the respective MCAs.
The schoolboy, who appears uncomfortable and out of place, can be seen holding up a manila paper that read: “Thank You so much Mheshimiwa Arama for the bursaries you gave us. May God bless you!”
Many people have castigated the legislator for trying to take personal credit for a program which is fully-funded by the taxpayer.
Other also noted how uncomfortable the boy clearly looks, also noticing that he appeared to have been forced in the situation just for show.
Ojwang wrote, “@NAssemblyKE could you pass a law to protect the privacy of the vulnerable children being supported? We welcome the help but let us protect the identity of the vulnerable young people receiving help. No photo should make it possible to identify the beneficiaries even if they want!”
Another Netizen, “Being poor is the worst thing ever! Mama mboga, mtu wa bodaboda and now needy kids being used for PR! Thanking a politician for paying for them fees with their own(taxpayers money)!”
