The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has issued a warrant of arrest for child star Wendy Waeni’s former manager Joseph Nduta Mwangi.

Joe Mwangi as many know him is wanted by authorities in connection with forgery and issuing threats to the girl’s mother Magdalene Mbele.

Wendy Waeni is a Kenyan contortionist who has performed for audiences around the world and two African Presidents Uhuru Kenyatta and Paul Kagame.

Her former manager came under pressure following allegations that he stole from the child and her mother.

During an interview on Citizen TV’s JKL show, Waeni alleged that she had not received a single penny for her performances over the past five years.

“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,” she said.

The manager, however, rubbished the allegations and accused her of ‘reading from a script.’ He further accused the mother of mismanaging funds they had received from her performance in Rwanda.

The mother rejected his claims saying Mwangi only gave her a little money from what he got from prominent individuals to help Waeni.

“During our trip to Rwanda, President Paul Kagame gave me Ksh.500,000 to support Wendy’s talent, I shared the money with Joe by giving him Ksh.200,000 but he still demanded for more,” she said.

The mother added: “He received money from politicians in the name of my daughter; he got Ksh.140,000 from Raila Odinga and only gave me Ksh.30,000.”

According to her, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and TV presenter Jeff Koinange each gave the former manager Ksh.100,000.

However, she was only given Ksh.20,000 and Ksh.4,000 from the two personalities respectively. 

DCI has instructed Mwangi to report to DCI offices in Nairobi Area.
