Renowned Kenyan tweep Bevalyne Kwamboka, who doubles up as a trader in Nairobi has dismissed a statement by Senator Millicent Omanga, claiming that she gave her some cash to support her business.
Early this week, Senator Omanga put out a tweet indicating that her team visited Bevalyne business premise and provided her with stock, cash and other material to support her business.
“Bevalyne Kwamboka is now sorted. Umbrella, cash and stock to boost her hustle. Mvua au jua haitamharibia biashara tena. Now let's go eat those chips,” Senator Omanga posted.
The tweet featured photos where Omanga’s team and Bevalyne posed alongside two sacks of potatoes, creating an impression that the potatoes were among donations made by the Senator.
However, in a statement on Thursday, Bevalyne, set the record straight, noting that she did not receive any cash from Senator Omanga’s team.
