Suzanna Owiyo has written to the Kisumu County Government and the State Department of Devolution requesting payment for performers at the Africities Summit.
The singer, who was one of the performers at the summit, claimed in an Instagram video that her attempts to contact the parties involved for payment had been futile due to frequent postponements.

“Can Kisumu County Government & (State Department) of Devolution do the honorary thing and pay artists who performed during Africities Summit in May 2022? I believe once you have rendered your services, you should be compensated as per the contract.
“I have tried my best to reach out to the guys assigned to contract the artists but my efforts have not been successful. The response I keep getting is…sijui tutakulipa…ngoja….wait till next week…sasa utangoja next month…It’s been delays after delays after delays,” Owiyo said.
