Wendy made headlines on Wednesday while appearing on Citizen TV JKL Show where she accused her former manager of not sharing the money generated from her talent.
She lamented how, even though she had performed all over the world including Germany, China and Rwanda, her family is still languishing in poverty living in a single room in Huruma.
Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior has offered legal services to Wendy following her claims.
Kenyans on Twitter expressed cheered the announcement by DCI.
And @SenMutula is her lawyer. Kaende kaende
