Ringtone's allegations against MCSK CEO's 60 million mansion!

Local News

Maurice Okoth

By Sheila Kimani (@sheilakimm)

Soon after the MCSK Awards and the drama that swiftly followed as artistes complained about their dues, singer Ringtone was picked upon to represent fellow artistes and table their grievances.

What ensued was a dramatic interview that saw Ringtone and Maurice, the MCSK official confront each other live on national television.

Apparently, Ringtone felt that MCSK officials were embezzling funds and that their dues as paid by the MCSK were not accurate. Asked to explain how and why he thought funds were being embezzled, Ringtone mentioned that Maurice lived in a house worth 600 million shillings.

(Now, 600 million is quite an extrapolated figure and a house worth 600 million would have made headlines this far.)

Immediately, this became a bone of contention as people began doubting his utterances.

To clarify this issue we reached out to Ringtone for clarification.

“Are you certain that Maurice lives in a house worth 600 million?” We asked

“Well, I still insist that the MCSK doesn’t pay all the dues as accurately and yes! Maurice has a lot of wealth, which he has managed to conceal overtime. But what I meant was 60 million. His house is worth 60 million in approximation”

“Still 60 million is still too extravagant” – We quipped.

“Yes! It is and that is why we need some changes in that society.” Ringtone answered.

Well, Maurice had already mentioned that he lives in Kileleshwa and that Ringtone’s allegations were untrue. So far, we can confirm that he doesn't live in a "600 million house" like Ringtone had mentioned during the interview.
