International gospel artist claims he was conned by Kenyan promoter

December wasn’t quite a festive season for International gospel singer, Anthony Faulkner. After visiting Kenya and even collaborating with one of it’s best gospel artistes, Juliani, Faulkner fell in love with the country ever since, hence the frequent visits.

However, he was very disappointed by one of the promoters of his latest concert in Kenya. Anthony Faulkner told sources that a promoter by the name of Peter Mulei conned him a gudu one. He claims that from the moment he arrived in Kenya for his concert which was to be held on the 16th of December 2012, Peter Mulei kept raising the cost of equipments and services to be rendered for the concert, even going as far as charging him double and at times even triple the price he is required to pay.

“Once I flew in to Nairobi there were people who kept dropping hints that there was some shady business going on with Peter. Once we confronted him because so much kept changing he said that he only was asking for monies that he needed for the event and nothing more. Well we found out that he was charging me double/sometimes triple what the cost were for various items, lights, sound, printing, putting up posters, and artwork. If it were not for my road manager Carl Foster the show would not have been what it was. Peter had nothing organised. Peter presented so many false receipts without official stamps on them, he presented so many fake artiste agreements on the last day that were signed by one person because all the handwriting technique is the same on all of them! What is very insulting is that he thinks he is clever,” Anthony Faulkner told sources.

All the accused had to say about this was, “I’m surprised by what Anthony is accusing me of doing. But I think he is just looking for publicity. He even accused me of buying a car using the money. I’m really disappointed in him.”
