In 2023, a Kenyan man who was identified as Joshua Kiprop Chemei went public seeking to meet Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro. His main line of argument was that he was Nyoro’s lookalike.
His wish was granted when he met the MP at his office in Nairobi. However, a few weeks later, the lookalike came out to complain.
He said that while his wish to meet the MP was granted, Nyoro only gave him Sh. 100,000 yet he wanted Sh. 500,000, a probox, and a job.
“That was a little amount considering that I embarrassed myself and even our governor and area MP by holding that placard. I used the money to buy one speaker and I am currently broke,” he said.
“I wish he could have given me Sh. 500,000 to build a house. He could also have bought me a Probox which I would have greatly appreciated.”
Kiprop claimed that he deserved what he wanted since he had gone out of his way and embarrassed himself in a bid to capture the MP’s attention.
“Since I went overboard and embarrassed myself and my people by holding the placard, the least he could have done is buy me a car as Sudi did for my colleague,” he said.

Kiprop then went on to ask Kenyans to fund his music venture by contributing cash to his kitty.
“I plead with Kenyans to contribute for me so that I can build a house and be able to take my children to school. Nowadays, I cannot even borrow since people think I am a millionaire,” he explained his struggles since meeting the legislator,” he said.
