Anerlisa Muigai forms WhatsApp Group to raise Sh3 million for boyfriend’s bail
Businesswoman Anerlisa Muigai has issued a public response regarding a recently leaked WhatsApp conversation.
In the conversation, she was seen seeking financial assistance to cover her fiancé’s bail costs amidst a legal battle involving his company, SBL Limited.
The situation unfolded when Muigai’s fiancé, Josiah Kariuki, who serves as the CEO of Silica Booster Limited (SBL), was implicated in the distribution of counterfeit fertilizer.
He faced multiple charges, including conspiracy to defraud, forgery, uttering false documents, and applying a standardization mark to a commodity that did not comply with Kenyan standards and other laws.
Kariuki pleaded not guilty to all charges and was released on bail.
However, the screenshot of a private WhatsApp conversation revealed that the bail amount was unexpectedly higher than anticipated, leading Muigai to seek financial support from close contacts.
Unfortunately, this message was shared with blogger Cyprian Nyakundi, who subsequently posted it on a public platform.

Feeling betrayed by those she once considered friends, Muigai took to Instagram to express her disappointment.
“When you thought you had real friends then boom, a blogger sends you a screenshot from a very enclosed group. Tomorrow could be you.
“At least I know I cannot count on everyone and that’s okay. And yes we managed to get out without your help. We good. #GodFirst,” her post read.

She shared the post with quote about the nature of true friends.
“Fake friends are like shadows: always near you at your brightest moments but nowhere to be seen at your darkest hour. True friends are like stars, you don’t always see them but they are always there,” the quote read.
According to Anerlisa the group in which she shared the text has only six members, making it easy to figure out who leaked the conversation.
