She urged the convict to see it as an opportunity to scam Kenyans. She added that Jowie will find a man to love him while behind bars adding that he will also perform in the prison’s talent show and he will kill it.
“When one door closes another opens!!” she captioned the video that had the GK Prison Kamiti background.
