Young Kisii Contractor Who Accused Cosmo Choi Of Non-Payment Praised By US-Based Client

• Afande, real name Walter Ondoro, earned the praise of a client for delivering a KSh 9.2 million project
• The US-based woman said that Afande did an awesome job and asked foreign-based Kenyans to give him work
• Afande spoke to TUKO.co.ke about the progress of his disagreement with Cosmo Choi over renovating his Kisii home

Walter Ondoro alias Afande, a young Kisii contractor, has been praised by a satisfied client months after a run-in with Cosmo Choi.

What did Afande say about Cosmo Choi?

Afande accused the diehard William Ruto supporter of failing to pay KSh 303,000 for renovations at his Kisii home.

The businessman told TUKO.co.ke that he completed the roof, and Cosmo paid up, but the issues started when it was time for the gypsum ceiling.

“He asked me to get the building materials on credit, saying his Sendwave account had hitches.”

Afande said he procured the materials on credit from a hardware store, knowing Cosmo would pay, but created several excuses before blocking him.

“Some clients from the US warned me about him, but I did not listen.”

TUKO.co.ke reached out to Cosmo, who countered the accusations. He sent screenshots of transactions amounting to almost KSh 1 million to Afande.

“I owe him nothing. He even overcharged me and is trying to steal from me,” he said.

Afande praised by US-based client

However, another foreign-based client had a starkly different experience working with Afande.

Facebook user Queenpeck Jacque, based in the US, said she gave Afande a job, and he over-delivered.

"I would like to thank Walter Ondoro for doing an excellent job for me."

Jacque then encouraged Afande, saying he overcame the numerous changes in his work.

"You have to deal with your workers, delayed deliveries and never disrespected me or my husband. God grant you whatever your heart desires."

She further prayed for Afande to get a good wife. Jacque further called on the US-based Kenyans to promote him.

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Afande said the project was worth KSh 9.2 million.

He also disclosed that he was still following up on the payment by Cosmo, currently in Kenya.

“He blocked me, but I am ready to sit with him to calculate the costs. I am only fighting poverty.”

Afande admitted he was pained seeing Cosmo enjoying the house he renovated but was allegedly not paid.
