Senior State Huse employee Laban Cliff Onserio finally managed to exchange vows after an ugly encounter with Kenyans online while trying to raise funds for his wedding last month.

Onserio, who had previously worked for NTV for the last five years, held a colorful wedding at the Nairobi Primary School, marrying his longtime lover Laura Damaris. He had proposed to her in another elegant event on March 31 2018.

Cliff, who now works as Deputy Director of Communications at the Presidential Delivery Unit (PDU), shared an e-invite on social media asking for funds for the wedding a thing that angered many in November.

Trolled

The couple was trolled with many saying that they should live within their own means instead of trying to organize their dream wedding.

It’s not yet clear how many guys went for the Harembee but well, the wedding happened and here are the photos:

He just resigned from NMG – ex-KTN journalist defends Cliff for having wedding fundraiser

There have been some wild reactions after former NTV journalist Cliff Laban invited friends and well-wisher to a wedding fundraiser scheduled for Sunday.

Not many loved the idea and Kenyans complained online saying it was a bad idea.

“A fundraising for a wedding is the stupidest thing a man can ever do. If you can’t afford to hold a wedding, don’t do it, just get married. Holding a fundraiser for a wedding ni botheration tu. Especially when you can be married with or without a wedding. Why do you stress people and yourselves with costs and bills you can’t handle?” said one journalist. 

According to Saddique Shaban who used to work at KTN, Cliff should have expected that since he’s a journalist and used to work for Nation, a media house which has specialized on rag-tag reporting.

No loyalty

Shaban said that media houses are never loyal to you and just wait for an opportunity to blast you once you exit.

He however went on to wish Cliff all the best in their fund raiser. But will Shaban contribute anything? Probably not.

“Uhuru man, indeed. Clickbait. Laban-Cliff Onserio is his own man first and other things later. I mean, he just resigned from NMG where this ragtag publication is housed. If this is meant to embarrass Laban, then it has failed flat. Best wishes to you Laban and your lovely wife-to-be. Welcome to the world of media cannibalism.” he said.
