She justified the Sh90 million payment saying that her company had executed 11 radio commercials, ran adverts on Citizen TV, prepared promotional caps, T-shirts, bags, billboards and fliers and revamped the AGPO website.
Members of Parliament had questioned the deliverables by Angwenyi’s company saying that they hadn’t seen the said adverts, yet she had received millions of shillings as payment for her publicity campaign.
