New ways conmen use to steal from businesses in Siaya

SIAYA, KENYA: Police are investigating an incident where conmen used the name of Siaya County commissioner Michael Ole Tialal to solicit for money from six business people.

The conmen are said to have used an OCS to get the contacts of the businessmen on Monday. 
Upon getting the contact of the Chairperson of the chamber of commerce Roseline Omuga, the conmen used her to get the contacts of the other five business people.
According to the county commissioner, the conmen had told Ms. Omuga over the phone that the principle secretary of Interior Karanja Kibicho was to visit the county to hold a very high profile delegate meeting with the six and issue them with firearms for protection.
