Margaret Waruri

Conned by a Fake Kenyan President Margaret Waruri

Violence, separation, death, destitution, marriage, another death, HIV stigma, widowhood, being conned, and being swindled. Adversity has birthed a diversity of effects in enduring resilience that will speak even in death. Consequently, this dare of an audacious fellow citizen counterfeiting my president is just life as I have known it. The con may have done it over and over in the past, but the privilege and thoroughness of the experiences as mentioned above have amplified my voice to stand and speak out for a generation which the gods have muted. In truth, I am set free, indeed, to know that truth needs no witness and is inside these pages in its nakedness. The real conversations, as is, with a fake Kenyan president who conned me hundreds of thousands by impersonating President Uhuru Kenyatta in the name of helping buy a piece of land to build a youth centre, which I shared as a goal. How deeper can we as a nation plunge?
