Kisti worked there for three months and left. During a recent media interview, she revealed that she quit because the employer refused to pay her.
"Those refused to pay me and I left," she said when newsmen asked why she quit.
"I worked there for three months and they didn't pay me for any of the months, so I decided to leave. I'm a money maker, so if you're not paying me then there's no business."
However, Kisti, real name Robinah Nambooze, noted that she holds no grudge against Mbuga, her problem is with Chebet who couldn't commit to her end of the bargain.
"Vivien is the one who gave me the job. Mbuga has never offered me a job. Vivien employed me and refused to fulfill the deal we agreed upon so that's why I departed from STV," she said.
She said they didn't sign a contract, it was a verbal agreement.
"I couldn't sue them."
