The sponsor of the Stanbic Yetu Festival, Stanbic Bank, has spoken out after threats of legal action stemming from concerns against the American boy band Boyz II Men’s performance on June 10, 2023, in Nairobi.
The Festival didn’t live up to expectations, as stated in a Stanbic Bank statement after taking note of fan criticism.
“We acknowledge that key elements of the show fell short of meeting the standards leading to disappointment among music fans who attended the concert. To this end, we have engaged our event organization partner, the Radio Africa Group, with a view of identifying the root cause of the issues presented.
We want to provide assurance that a comprehensive investigation is underway and an events report will be shared with the sponsors to help inform the organization of future events to ensure that the experience of all attendees meets the expected high standards.”
