Published on August 9, 2019, a series of allegations have been made against Joe Mwangi, the former manager of gymnast Wendy Waeni.
Singer Suzanna Owiyo has joined a list of Kenyans who have exposed Mwangi for duping them. According to Owiyo, she thought she was in contact with Wendy after someone reached out to her asking her to fund Wendy's foundation in Huruma.
However, it appears that the conversations started way before Wendy did her KCPE exams. In a series of screenshots shared online, Owiyo revealed that she was allegedly asked to send a cake for Wendy's 13th birthday.
Other Kenyans have also come forward to expose Mwangi for allegedly asking them for Ksh. 20,000 in order to get them jobs at the United Nations. In the screenshots shared online, Mwangi asks people to send between Ksh. 20,000 to Ksh. 30,000, promising to get them well-paying jobs at the United Nations.
Joe Mwangi has since rubbished the allegations, stating that someone coached Wendy to lie about him on air. He also denied traveling with Wendy for any trips, and rubbished allegations that Wendy was never paid.
