Talent Search Show Accused of Fraud in Shocking Allegations Provides Evidence To Rubbish Claims

A short while ago, I posted a story about a lass who was accusing arguably the biggest talent search programme for high school kids, Dreamz Come True, of defrauding her. And she had taken her battle to social media but while writing up the article, I was sure to note that the CEO in question, Jimmy K had provided evidence to counter the allegations aye?

Well, let me start the story off like this:

Jimmy K spoke to Ghafla exclusively and when he did, he clarified that it was indeed true that Victoria Joyce Nyambura Thuo was a contestant on his show “Dreams Come True”. He however says that was where the truth in what she was claiming ended.
First off,

“Her case was special. She is a parallel university degree pursuant, the show usually only caters to university students pursuing a degree courtesy of J.A.B (the Joint Admissions Board) or “regular” students as they are known.

Upon considering her case, the team decided to pay half her fees because she was indeed the winner of her category and both the young lady and her mother were made fully aware of the situation. That was where the problems begun.

They refused to accept their cheque which you can see below:

Simply because they wanted the full amount due, 60,000/-. Since then, the cheque has been lying on Jimmy K’s desk. And as for the attempted blackmail with claims that they would expose us to the media, well, we are a fully registered company and anyone interested can find our filed documents at Jogoo House at the Ministry Of Education’s Quality Assurance department.

And our success record speaks for itself really, we have paid school fees for over 1,000 students to the tune of 1.6 million shillings with some past participants going on to release music albums and we even boast among our ranks of participants, Ms Kiambu County and Ms Kajiado County.

Buyer Beware (the site that 1st covered the saga) are just creating a fuss without first getting the facts and are running the risk of costing thousands of potential participants school fees should the event be cancelled by tarnishing our name in so criminal a manner.

And away from this sad state of affairs, I want to encourage any would-be participants to come for the upcoming events which will be held on the 16th of August all over the country.
Some of the judges for the next cycle include:
Willy M. Tuva of Royal Media Service, Dave Gitika of Mali, Steve Homes formerly of TPF, Rukia of Tausi, Cliff Sidandi of Otonglo Fame among others.”

 

So there you have it.

 

Meanwhile, the August edition of Dreamz Come True will be held on 16th August at the Catholic University of East Africa (CUEA).
