For the better part of Thursday, Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga was trending after being exposed by Bevalyne Kwamboka.
Kwamboka, a chips vendor, revealed that Omanga never gave her five umbrellas as she claimed.
“For clarification, team @MillicentOmanga only bought waru za 350 came out of the vehicle with 5 umbrellas, took photos returned them and gave out one and two aprons. Hiyo mambo ya cash haikua plus stock ni ya 350. Hizo waru gunia kubwa i had bought and started the day,” Kwamboka said in her expose.
Days ago Omanga had shared a post on twitter claiming that she had gifted Kwamboka the umbrellas to aide her business.
Earlier in the day, some netizens accused Omanga of trying to avoid twitter following the expose.
However, addressing the issue through a series of tweets, Omanga said that explained that she had been informed that Kwamboka had requested for help from her.
“When it was brought to my attention that Bevalyne Kwamboka had publicly requested for an umbrella to help shield her from rain and sun as she does her chips business I was out of the country but immediately dispatched my team to visit her and offer her the help she needed,” the senator said.
Omanga however apologized for not meeting Kwamboka’s expectations which she said they were very high.
“I did my best under the circumstances and I’m sorry that I didn’t meet her expectations which appear to have been higher. In such situations the truth, honesty and facts are sacrificed at the altar of social media fame, blackmail and character assassination,” Omanga wrote.
She further wished Kwamboka success in her business.
“I wish Kwamboka success and good fortunes as she grows her business. Entrepreneurs like Kwamboka are a testament to what our country prides itself with most: plenty of hardworking, focused and spirited young men and women who deserve our collective support and goodwill. Thank you and may God bless you all,” her tweet read
