Reports circulating across social media platforms and several local media outlets indicate that multiple victims in Nairobi and surrounding areas have raised claims involving a woman identified as Loise Nyambura, who is at the centre of a coordinated cash solicitation scheme targeting members of the public through repeated financial requests framed around urgent personal and family needs.
According to submissions from different complainants, the woman allegedly approached individuals with emotionally structured appeals in which she presented herself as a parliamentary employee on leave, citing urgent school fee obligations for children said to be enrolled in private schools in Thika and Ruiru, with requests ranging from tens of thousands of shillings to as high as Ksh 300,000 depending on the target and engagement.
“She told me she was on leave from Parliament and needed urgent help with school fees. The explanation was very detailed, including references to withheld results and pressure from the schools,” one victim said, describing how the narrative was delivered in a consistent and persuasive manner.
Another complainant said the same storyline appeared across multiple interactions with different victims, with identical references to the same schools, similar urgency timelines, and repeated explanations of academic disruption. “The details were almost identical in every account I later heard from others,” the victim said.
Separate accounts from individuals who report financial losses place the amounts involved at Ksh 70,000, Ksh 120,000, and Ksh 250,000 in different incidents, with victims describing what they say is a repeated and structured pattern of cash requests followed by transfer of funds under expectations of repayment.
Further reports indicate that the woman is believed to have operated across parts of Kiambu County, particularly within Ruiru and surrounding areas, with victims stating that she frequently changed locations while maintaining contact with multiple targets over time, a method they say enabled repeated engagement with new individuals.
Affected victims are now coordinating formal complaints to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), calling for a full investigation into the matter and urging anyone who may have received similar requests or transferred money under comparable circumstances to come forward and assist with statements to establish the full scope of the alleged scheme.
