The rich beggars of Nairobi who own land and apartment blocks

You see that beggar you give handouts to on the streets, he could actually be a proud owner of several parcels of land or plots

There are genuine street beggars who need help. However, how others use the handouts leaves a lot to be desired. They misuse these proceeds from public sympathy by ‘living large’.

Also, some are not genuine paupers; they are actually conmen who have used handouts from poor Kenyans to, among other things, buy plots and build houses, but still beg for a living without their benefactors being any wiser, Crazy Monday has discovered.
