GHAFLA EXCLUSIVE: KTN C.E.O Sam Shollei And Samantha Bridal C.E.O Allegedly Steal Intellectual Property Rights From Baileys Wedding Show Host Noni

I have had many a show producer and creators complain about making TV shows and pitching them to Kenya’s leading media houses. it is always alleged that the networks jack ideas. This is one such case.
Former Wedding Show host and current Baileys Wedding Show host Noni Gathoni is crying foul alleging that KTN’s C.E.O Sam Shollei and Samantha Bridal C.E.O Dr. Samantha Masitsa have stolen her concept.

This is what unfolded:

Uncle Chim Tuna received a tip from his man at the law courts. Apparently, Noni Gathoni had created a new concept with which a wedding show could be produced.
She then went round to the different media stations and attempted to sell her idea, her dream to them. One and all shut her down. They did not see her dream as being worth the investment. She soldiered on.

One day, baileys decided they were going to invest in the concept and they did. That was when all the doors that were previously closed to her opened up. She settled on an offer from NTV. But unbeknownst to her, her rival, Samantha Bridal Show had somehow caught wind of the concept she had been selling and were interested.

So interested were they, that Samantha Bridal allegedly stole the concept and due to issues that came about implementing the concept, Noni Gathoni and NTV had to contend with a delay in premiering the show.
KTN and Samantha’s Bridal took full advantage of the situation and let loose their alleged copy.
