Shinyalu MP Fred Ikana is reportedly on the run after scamming his constituents millions of their hard-earned money promising to double the money by investing in market funds.
Reports say Ikana convinced many constituents to invest in a money market fund, promising big returns on their contributions.
Those in the know have claimed that Hon. Fred Ikana’s persuasive and oratory skills led many to part with their hard-earned money, trusting that the investment would secure their financial futures. However, it soon became clear that the promises were empty. Ikana has since disappeared, leaving a trail of financial ruin and broken trust.

All the same, the revelation has sparked a storm of condemnation on social media. Kenyans have taken to platforms like Twitter to voice their anger and demand justice.
The hashtag #MwiziWaShinyalu, which means “Shinyalu’s thief,” has been trending as more people share their stories and call for action against the rogue MP.
“Fred Ikana has shown his true colours by stealing millions from people who believed in his investment promises,” said Evans, a Twitter user, reflecting the sentiments of many.
The outcry has been swift and widespread, with calls for the authorities to catch Ikana and recover the stolen funds.
Local law enforcement has started an investigation into the allegations, and efforts are underway to track down the missing MP. Meanwhile, affected constituents are left grappling with the financial losses and the betrayal of trust by a leader they once held in high esteem.
The scandal is a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and due diligence in financial matters, even when dealing with trusted public figures. As the search for Fred Ikana continues, the people of Shinyalu are united in their demand for justice and accountability.
