Bonfire Adventures dismisses the allegations of neglecting street couple

The street couple, Sammy Githae and Virginia Njeri hit headlines during the valentine season after their photos went viral. The photos were taken by a Nairobi photographer called Muchiri. This attracted the attention of Bonfire Adventures who offered the couple a vacation trip to Diani by air.

The great couple is back to the street. They claim that they have been neglected by Bonfire Adventures who had promised to pay their rent and open a car wash business for them.

 Someone tell KTN journalists to verify stories before posting on air... we have enough facts on how we helped the street couple for 6 months... #thekabus very upset with some lies there but as they say #tendawemanendazako We now understand why The Late Lucy Kibaki would storm into your offices..

Sammy said; “He only paid our four months rent. After the four months elapsed, things became tough for us. We couldn’t secure a job to pay rent. When I look at the photos, I remember that journey and I fall into depression. The situation becomes worse when my colleagues laugh at me saying even if you go leave and fly anywhere, you will always come back here.”

Addresing the allegations, Bonfire Adventures co -founder, Sarah Kabu said; “I don’t like lies by KTN journalist the street couple went for the holiday na photos ziko online… We paid 6 months rent and gave them cash to start a biz. I don’t know what else they want we cant feed them forever! They were also given a job at Kericho and they turned down the offer.

Githeri man was ever drunk and his voucher is still open. From now henceforth let me not see anyone tagging me in a post to give a holiday to anyone being celebrated online… everyone knows we keep our word. All photos online.”
