Kenyan entrepreneur Phoina Tosha of Phoina Beauty has addressed her relationship with EALA MP Winnie Odinga.
Phoina had an event in April and the presence of Winnie Odinga caused some people to speculate that the two are in a romantic relationship.
In an interview with the Nairobian, Phoina dismissed the claims adding that her team invited Winnie Odinga since it was an all women event and she is influential.
"My event was a women-driven event. It was about women's empowerment and women doing great in different fields. Winne Odinga is a person many look up to and my team reached out to her and invited her to speak at the anniversary event."
Phoina disclosed that it was the first time she met the EALA MP and it was inspiring to hear her speech. She added that it was unfortunate how blogs changed the story.
"That was the first time I met her and talked to her. She gave an amazing speech on that day. It was quite inspiring and how the story changed on the blogs was quite surprising to me. All in all, it was an honour for her to grace the event. It’s actually sad that people choose to drag her into such a conversation."
