Apparently, there is a story doing rounds on social media that journalist Ben Kitili got some services froma woman and disappeared without paying a single cent. The story first appeared on Kilimani Mums and then spread to other gossip sites.
Ben Kitili got wind that he is being discussed somewhere. The bold journalist never denied he did the act but he instead said the woman wanted to reap where she did not sow.Ben defends himself by saying the services he got were not worth paying, which is the reason he bridged the contract.
The woman took to social media and left a rotten egg on Ben’s face.This is what she said:
“Rebecca is a very good friend to our family, she does landscaping atleast that’s what she calls it, if you hire her she will cater for all the materials required from her own pocket and then you pay her once the work is done plus labour. She has so many known clients in the society, the likes of akina maria of mother inlaw whom she said paid her so well after she did her job at her home somewhere along Thika road….if you ask me she is so good at what she does, she does a very good job! Since she works for this people with cash, she doesn’t bother to ask for advance payment b4 work from the clients since she trusts people of that kind can’t have issues with paying dues, at least by then, but since the Ben Kitilis incident now she is required to ask for half her dues b4 she begins her job. Ben Kitili hired rebecca 3 years ago, according to her at that time there was something going on in tanzania, some sort of elections. Ben left for the coverage of that event for some days, when she was done she called him and let him know that she was done that he should do the necessary in terms of her payments, Ben stated that he was a bit busy with the coverage that she Shud give him a few days till he comes back home. Rebecca understood. She waited. Ben was done with the event, he came back home, rebecca went to ask for her money, she found Amina, the wife, the wife claimed that it’s Ben to take care of her bills. Rebecca kept going for her money for days in vain. Now both Ben and the wife stopped picking her phone calls, she was blocked on Whatapp and her messages went unreplied. All security men on that apartments were told to tell her whenever she comes that a nobody is in the house, Rebecca did nothing she just had to give up.. i never knew about all this until yesterday while watching Ktn news is when she pointed out that that man conned her. I felt so bitter and asked myself what is 20k for someone like Ben not pay her off 3 years down the line now, yet he gets paid each and every month generously by std group.”
Below is Benโs response
