Justina Syokau Asks Fans To Help Her Raise Ksh 200,000 For Son’s Birthday Celebrations

Kamba singer Justina Syokau has caused an uproar after screenshots of her asking for 200,000 for her sons birthday hit the internet. The message posted to a Whatsapp group read

Hi my dear. My son Nixon Musyoka have a birthday. 11 years celebration. I’m organizing this week on Sunday. We have a budget of 200k. We are doing contribution, you can support where you can. Any amount nitashukuru. Services needed: PA system, video, photography, food, MCee, DJ system, cake, decoration, tents

Fans are in an uproar because of the nature of the request. Some people are up in arms about the contribution culture in Kenya. They see it as unfair to contribute to someone who is living beyond their means. Others saw it as frivolous to ask for a contribution for something unserious like a birthday party, instead of something more serious like school fees. What do you think?
