Millionaire showbiz investor, promoter and Bernsoft Interactive CEO Bernard Kioko is a furious man. After an article claiming that he is at loggerheads with award-winning boy group P Unit over a failed Nakuru concert last month, Kioko disputed the allegations saying the writer was being malicious.

“First, Bernsoft Interactive was not involved in the planning of the Nakuru event dubbed Bachuss to Nakuru at Rafikiz. I was involved in identifying the artistes and celebrities that would be picked and the social media marketing of the event. All other aspects of the event, including payments and operations were handled by Rafikiz. I proposed P-Unit to Rafikiz and linked P-Unit with the Rafikiz manager Kizzy. From the onset, I made it clear to P-Unit that I had no role in payments,” he explained through an email to Pulse, distancing himself from the purported differences.

“P-Unit made direct discussions with Rafikiz and agreed on payment terms. I understand that they were paid 50 per cent in cash the day before the event and the balance was to be paid in cheque. During the event, there was an unrelated issue to do with the sound and police wanting the sound regulated due to a factor that arose, which was beyond me. When P-Unit arrived at the venue, they found their cheque for the other 50 per cent ready,” he explained.
