Kenyans Rally Behind Embu Woman Trolled By Businessman On Facebook, Pledge To Support Her

• A would-be harmless marketing post by Embu businessman Dolly Patron went South when entrepreneur Gibson Murage Gitonga trolled her
• Dolly had requested Gitonga to buy her non-stick sufurias, only for him to start an unwarranted altercation
• In an unexpected twist of fate, social media users rallied behind the young woman and offered to buy her merchandise

In a heartening display of solidarity, Kenyans on social media have come together to support an Embu woman after a Facebook user trolled her.

The lady, identified as Dolly Parton, had contacted Gibson Murage Gitonga and requested that he purchase some of her non-stick pans as gifts for his wife.

Gitonga found himself in online storm

However, instead of politely declining, Gitonga responded with derogatory remarks towards the businesswoman.

The incident shared by lawyer Wahome Thuku quickly went viral, with many condemning Gitonga's behaviour and expressing support for Dolly.

"Given your public status now, it's very important to get the message first before typing a response," the lawyer advised.

Kenyans online rally behind the entrepreneur, pledging to support her business and urging others to do the same.

Social media reactions

Kamau Isaac:

"I can buy a set of non-stick sufurias for one of your followers to teach the furniture guy what we mean."

Chris Muhatia:

"This man's response was so low! Considering the lady commented very positively, the lady didn't deserve such a reply."

Stanley Hope Kivuva:

"All things work together for good. Her business will grow significantly out of this. Whatever murage meant for evil will work for her good."

Mejjah Wakoz:

"Dolly Patron, sell your sufurias here for people to buy and follow your page for more orders. Turn the negativity into something useful."

Woman accused Gitonga of conning her KSh 450k

In an earlier story, the proprietor of Modern Furniture Pacific disclosed that he was having difficulty with a client named Peggy Wanjiru.

Wanjiru shared that she was not sold the sofa set she wanted, and he countered that she got very personal during the transaction.

According to Gitonga, Wanjiru was not satisfied with the seat, and after it was made, she dumped it at their business premises and demanded her money back.

The disgruntled client accused the businessman of assuring her that they would ensure every inch of the furniture would fit her specifications.

She was disappointed when they delivered the sofa sets, but they didn't meet her expectations.
