Kenyan singer Bahati has parted ways with his personal assistant Emmah Lihavi, who was at the center of a marital crisis between Bahati and his wife Diana Marua.
According to Bahati, he fired Emmah due to her excessive demands, including a request for security.
‘She wanted security among other things. I have a new PA and have to take her slow,’ Bahati revealed in an interview.
Emmah's departure has been welcomed by Diana, who has appointed her sister Val as Bahati's new personal assistant.
Val, who is also Diana's sister, has been tasked with keeping Bahati informed about all aspects of his life.
On her first day at work, Val was involved in a heated exchange with Bahati, who accused her of spying on him.
‘Huyu ni presenter mgani sijawahi ona? You think I don’t know [local] presenters? So this is what you used to do when Emma was working for you and that’s why you fired her?’ Val said.
Bahati's date was forced to leave without saying goodbye due to the drama caused by Val's actions.
