Saturday, May 17, 2025 - Youth Affairs Principal Secretary (PS) Fikirini Jacobs is facing public backlash after being called out on social media for allegedly failing to pay a mobile phone vendor after purchasing two high-end smartphones.
The issue came to light through a post by X user Mwabili Mwagodi, who accused the youthful PS of
defaulting on a deal involving two smartphones.
According to Mwagodi, Jacobs acquired the devices from a
local vendor under a verbal agreement that payment would follow shortly but
failed to honor the agreement.
The situation escalated when the vendor, after several
unsuccessful attempts to reach the PS through both formal and informal
channels, turned to social media for help.
According to Mwagodi, it was only after his public
intervention on X that the PS finally paid the vendor.
The incident has stirred conversation online, with many questioning the ethics of public officials and their treatment of ordinary citizens.
