Mbuga's wife Vivienne didn’t pay me for 3-month work at STV - Robin Kisti

She secured a job at STV Uganda, which was offered to her by Jalia Vivienne Chebet. The TV station, which is found on Lukuli Road in Buziga, Kampala, was started by Chebet's husband, Sulaiman Kabangala, aka S.K. Mbuga.

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."

Kisti now works with Makula TV on weekends. Her show is about walking people through the Miss Uganda journey. The 2023 Miss Uganda grand finale will be held on March 17 at the Kampala Serena Hotel.

Robin Kisti rose to fame while presenting Login, an entertainment and lifestyle TV show on NTV.
