Embakasi East MP Babu Owibo has warned members of the public to be vigilant as there are fraudsters using his name and picture on social media to solicit for money illegally.
Babu says those targeted are youth who are desperately looking for jobs and quick money for survival.
He made reference to a Facebook page under the username Vijana Tibim that is dishing out money to people who share posts in the page more times. The Facebook page uses Babu's picture.
"Fraudsters alert!" Babu said on in reference to the social media page whose administrators is not known.
"This page is run by fraudsters who will be the first victims of the newly enacted cybercrime law. I am giving those impersonating me through this fake Facebook page 24 hours to bring it down."
The Facebook page had a post in which the administrators posted a message saying Luo men are the most romantic in the world and that Kikuyu women are the best in lovemaking in the entire universe.
The post went ahead and instructed people to like the post or comment with their location as well as telephone numbers and also share the message to as many Facebook pages as possible.
'"Anyway I have Sh100,000 to give to 100 loyal fans, Sh1,000 each," the fraudulent post read.
"Congratulations to the previous winners. The rules are simple; The more you share the more your chances of winning. Good luck."
