The former manager of Mugiithi artist Samidoh, is currently in police custody after he was accused of mismanaging security deposits intended for his former client.
Moses Marite, who was Samidoh’s manager for over five years, was arrested in Sagana after alleged mishandling of payments meant to secure performances by the musician.
His troubles began after a Sagana-based marketer alleged that Samidoh was never informed of a 100k deposit paid to Marite for an upcoming show.
According to the allegations, Marite had received the payment as Samidoh’s representative but failed to account for it.
Marite was subsequently arrested and arraigned in court on October 22nd. He is currently in custody and requires Ksh 100,000 bail to secure his release.
Friends and acquaintances of Marite have initiated a fundraising effort to raise the necessary bail amount.
They have established a WhatsApp group to coordinate the collection of funds.
Samidoh parted ways with Marite in September 2024, announcing that the latter was no longer authorised to transact any business on his behalf.
