This past week, the spirit of exposing Kenyan con artistes and fraudsters was strong among Kenyans on Twitter.
In that very same spirit, community organization RescueBnB was under fire from Kenyans who demanded that contributions made towards strengthening and widening its activities be accounted for.
While you were exposing frauds, did you forget rescuebnb? We changad money and there has been dead silence even during the Riverside Attack

Yo @ResqueBnB you’ve been awfully quiet during recent disasters, can you let us know what happened to the money we collected here and how much of it still remains?

The organization which offered shelter to vulnerable Kenyans during times of crisis or disaster has now been mute for over a year. Their latest activity being in 2017, when violence struck a few areas in the country after the general elections.
I remember them changaring almost half a mill in 2017. Then they became quiet. Their website seems to have expired too. https://t.co/L6LlkLa78v

Word on the street is that the organization’s head and founder, 30 year old Sallinder Nyawira, popularly known as Miss Nyawira on social media, flew to the United states just days after Kenyans contributed close to half a million shillings.

Other reports suggest that Nyawira is actually back in Kenya and was only abroad for a short period of time. She has however, kept a very low profile since her return.
Miss Nyawira of @ResqueBnB is not picking calls. She responded to my whatsapp with a "I don't have this number" then went mute. But she is in Kenya. It does seem something is indeed going on.

Like many other young and sprouting fraudsters, Sallinder Nyawira was once featured and glorified on many local dailies.
