Wendy Waeni, a Kenyan gymnast, has been at the center of a public outcry after accusing her former manager, Joe Mwangi, of conning her out of her performances' money. The case has taken a new turn after Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja asked Makueni counterpart Mutula Kilonzo Junior to represent Waeni in a court of law.
On Thursday, Senator Mutula Kilonzo put up a photo he took with Wendy Waeni in his office, stating that her complaints on Citizen TV's JKLive deserve a legal address.
"This picture was taken by Joe Mwangi in my office. The statement by Wendy on JKL yesterday is a criminal complaint. @DCI_Kenya," reacted Senator Mutula Kilonzo.
Following the expose, Joe Mwangi deactivated Wendy Waeni's social media pages. Socialite Huddah Monroe also added her weight on the story, saying "#JusticeeforWendywaeni. I'm so heartbreaking how her manager scammed that lil kid. He needs to pay up!"
