What Happened A recent TikTok video exposed the harassment and threats faced by a Kenyan family at the hands of a loan shark.

The family had borrowed KSh 50,000, but the loan shark was demanding KSh 100,000 in repayment, threatening to harm the family if they didn't pay up. This is not an isolated incident - many Kenyans face similar harassment and intimidation from loan sharks.

Why It Matters This story highlights the need for Kenyans to know their rights when dealing with loan sharks.

Many people are unaware of the laws that protect them from harassment and exploitation. The Constitution of Kenya guarantees access to justice, and the Consumer Protection Act protects consumers from unfair and deceptive practices. However, many Kenyans are not aware of these laws and do not know how to enforce their rights.
