Pendo in court after mubaba claims he is broke

Having had an on and off payment plan for the hotel – Pendo says this the bill accumulated in days; hence putting pressure on Pendo and her mubaba who at the time was having a few issues with his business.

The balance that he was about to settle so we leave, he said he did not have it and that he needed to talk to the hotel. The hotel said they could not let us go. So the bill continued to accumulate. The more he paid, the more we were being held since the bill was not cleared.

With no money to pay the bill, Pendo was then taken to court but was later released on her on a Sh100k bond or alternative cash bail of Sh35k. Probably because the said Mubaba was known and of course couldn’t dodge with the remaining bill.

However, when asked why she never revealed the identity of the man who sponsoring her stay at the beach hotel, Pendo said;

I am a good person, he is a prominent business person and I did not want to disappear because of 200k.

Adding;

While I was in court, he didn’t care coz the worst I could do was mention his name.
