Regarding claims that Waeni has never been paid, Mwangi described them as untrue.
Short Thread: 1. On the video, it has been said that I (Joe) has traveled all over the world with Wendy. FACT: I have NEVER, NEVER EVER left this country in company of Wendy Waeni. Anybody with any proof that I have flown out any given time with her, put it here. — MWAS JOE (@Mwasjoe50) August 8, 2019
2. It's alleged that for more than 5 years, Wendy has never received a penny. I mean, which parent in this world will allow their kid to be misused for not 1 month, not 1 year, but 5 years? — MWAS JOE (@Mwasjoe50) August 8, 2019
3. For now, someone kindly save this photo. You will come to understand who the interested parties and scriptwriter is in the next few days. — MWAS JOE (@Mwasjoe50) August 8, 2019
