Joe Mwangi the man who played his alleged conning acts below the radar and managed to keep his crooked ways away from limelight has found himself in a cash twenty-two situation.
Following an interview on Citizen TV’s JKL on Wednesday, gymnast Wendy Waeni accused her former manager Joe Mwangi of exploiting her talent for selfish reasons, something that did not go well with a section of Kenyans.
“I’ve been performing all over the world, and right now I live in Huruma because of Joe Mwangi. I’ve performed in Rwanda, Germany, and China…and I’ve not got even a single penny. My mum is really suffering right now, she sells sweets, I live in Huruma in a single-room with her. Wendy said while on the JKL show.

“People are telling me that I’m rude, that I’m a brat, that I post things on Instagram…which I don’t really know. I don’t have access to my social media accounts, it’s Joe Mwangi who controls them,” said Wendy.
On Thursday, Joe came out to give his side of the story and alleged that the minor might have been coached to give misleading information on national TV. He added that he has never left the country in the company of Wendy and dared anyone who has proof to come forth.
“On the video, it has been said that I (Joe) has traveled all over the world with Wendy, FACT: I have NEVER, NEVER EVER left this country in the company of Wendy Waeni. Anybody with any prove (sic) that I have flown out any given time with her, put it here.
“It’s alleged that for more than 5yrs Wendy has never received a penny, I mean…. which parent in this World will allow his/her kid to be misused for not 1 month, not 1year, but 5yrs..?????,” Joe asked.

In his responses, however, coming amidst a storm of social media backlash from a section of Kenyans, Joe – in a tweet to Duncan Ondimu, Principal Prosecution Counsel in the office of the DPP – implied that he would be seeking legal action.
But things seemed to change when Joe Mwangi said: “Anybody with any proof that I have flown out any given time with her, put it here.” And, just before he could finish a tweet thread of his response, Media Personality, C.E.O Cape Media and Manager
