"I was paid close to Sh30 million by the former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero, the payment was an out-of-court settlement."

"If you don't have a strong support around you, you might collapse. If I did not have someone around me and they understand what I was going through, I would have collapsed."

"Cyberbullying is heavy. I was reading on social media, newspapers and everywhere, wondering when all this was coming to an end."

"It was a lot of pressure. It was the most difficult depression I have ever gone through. I settled with him and closed that chapter."
