Poor Millionaire: Athletes fleeced by friends, lawyers and self-styled advisors

- The old adage all that glitters is not gold comes alive in Kenya's North Rift, the bastion of world beating middle and long distance runners.
The big smile at the end of the finish line, the national flag wrapped around their shoulders and the heroic welcome at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport often mark the beginning of a good life; a parting of ways with poverty and the crossing of the line into the world of riches and bliss.
While a significant number make it, others have fallen prey to predators such as friends, lawyers and self styled investment advisors.
On NTV Investigates we present a story of winners in tears: a story of pain after joy and a heart breaking story of kenya's heroes turned poor millionaires.
From Uasin Gishu here is NTV's Dennis Okari,

And God gave him a wife and a half...oh God I speak life into this family
True
Amen.
Oh Lord God Almighty 🙏 may you visit this young family in a special way.
You eat another mans sweat you will never be happy .God help the family and I know our God is living Komen will shine soon .
If such characters are holding public offices in Kenya, then i now get where we went wrong!!
The body language of that lawyer just sets him up
Thanks Dennis Okari for the insight times like this s when we need less of politics but action.for this man who made our national anthem be known and be heard everywhere.The government should also act on this issue.
What's even worse is this lawyer is now one of the leaders in the county assembly. I feel so sad for Daniel. I pray for his wife and family and wish there is a way to bring back his lost glory.
THIS WOMAN FEEL SOO PAINFUL SHE EVEN LACKS WORDS TO EXPRESS THE PAIN ,I KNOW THE FEELING.FEELING SAD
My heart just goes out to her, yani she cannot even describe anasita sita. Sooo sad
Great work, Dennis and your team. Very sad story. The athletes need financial training as part their training. It's so sad that they lose their HARD Earned money to crooks.
How can a full lawyer like Terer not be in the knowhow of how to put up a written agreement during a patnership business?? to me this is a case of fraud from the lawyer..action has to be taken..and if it was a joint business..why did he decide to sell assets without prior knowledge of the other party?
uasin gishu speaker must go and rot in jail..may God help the family
this is going to be a curse upto your fifth generation mr. lawyer.. God is seeing the tears of the wife and mr. komen..its going to affect your children.
yes thats what pple never understand about spirituality. messing your generations bcoz of such.
As per evidence presented that lawyer will pay painfully u cannot cause people to cry yet you are a trusted professional shame shame !
True true, eating another man's sweat, just like that!!! Running isn't easy!! Surely how can one be so conniving
I don't know why some people are so wicked... but just as a reminder, no one gets out of this world alive and unpunished.
We can help daniel how can we reach him? His wife is one ina million
That Lawyer doesn't even look human, more like a member of Batman's rogues gallery.
This is just another day in Eldoret or uasin gishu county, land corruption is on the highest level there, good documentary hope God helps the family affected
I agree. The thievery of these people is alien.
Bungei am loving his eloquence Daniel it is heart breaking story i hope one day thing will change your wife is really stressed up to the lawyer may God punish him
And that lawyer is walking scott free........Daniel Komen We commend u for your Strength and Zeal
its really painfully, justice4Our #Atheletes
justice4Komen
shocked!!!!waiting to see what. the government will do about these,,, thanks to media fraternity wah hizi hatungejua
Gvt work ni kujenga barabara na inflastructure ....kama barabara ...your choices have consequences
Financial advisors??...what bullshit. something tells me the wife wasn't consulted so i don't feel sorry for the guy...trust me guys, always consult ua wives women somehow always know a conman from a mile away.
My prayers for you Komen that you win your upcoming race and please get that Terer guy behind bars
I pray so too....may he win the next race...
yes may the lord do that for him and give him victory.
God will lift you up again, he is a God of another chance and enemies will see you prosper
Dennis, Thanks for showing the world whats is going on in the world of athletes but remember allot are going on untold
The lawyer happens to want to run for public office. If he could embezzle a poor runners money in that magnitude and scale, think about the billions he will fly with in a public office. And you know what, voters are dumbest and they will vote him in. 5 years down the line he will pull a "Mbona hamkunichukua kwa police for investigation wakati huo" Ok I will sit now.
Gilbert Kemei thieves are thieves but people tend to prefer them in suits and degrees.
God will punish this lawyer.
Amen to that!
EDWARD KARISA KENGA KENGA Amen.... GOD is watching him...
god wont do shit. Kenyans should start taking responsibility for their own lives.
Don Eladio..you beat me to it
amen
The plight of those children, plus the tears that mother is shedding are a perfect witness against the one who is responsible for all this. As sure as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, the one responsible will one day remember two things; the crime committed against this family, and the tears of this mother coupled with the suffering of the kids. My dears, you can never commit an inhuman act against a mother, any mother and expect to walk away like you do walk out of a toilet. You whom you have watched this movie today, go and be very careful how you treat mothers, any mother.
Taking advantage of the innocent, typical of Kenya 🇰🇪
God give this family peace, soo painful but God will restore again
if God does not have time to fix corruption in Kenya, then he has his priorities wrong
God has set universal laws already...the wrath of God is awaiting
Marie Kaposh god wil do that for them.
God is slow but he alway show up went we need him. god is waiting for his children too turn to him and also cry out to him. the people need to fast and pray.
so painful,but the wife has a golden heart God will surely reward them back
we need all organs to be engaged in this, Law Society of Kenya, EACC, and Judiciary. TERER i wish you too get into such a state. God may You remember Komen and his family.
This story should win an award if you ask me. Who ever thought this happens? Okari thanks for this. I hope they get justice.
So sad. I hope the wife gets medical help too because she seems depressed.
Lornah Nyongesa she seems more affected than the husband
The wife's tears will never go unpunished. The so called lawyer will know that God never sleeps
God will open another door.
Isaac Kipkemei Terer is Uasin Gishu County Assembly speaker,a leader who thinks education will take him far but he will pay for it accordingly. He thought he will apply all the laws in the poor athlete's life, God will surprise him. I don't understand why this athletes are advised to have a financial advisers from Kenya,a land of corruption, a land where cheap thieves are jailed and expensive thieves are left to continues stealing just coz they know how to defend themselves
the pain of a wife.. Pain of a mother
Mungu anakuona
This story made me to shade my tears for real...that guy should be brought to book nd face the law..how can u take what is not yours..very bad
4:23 did anybody notice the irritating bird rebuking him?
please Rudisha and the likes just a little contribution to this poor family just so they can start a small bussines
giving them fish, instead of teaching them how to fish
Satch Flight u fool!! how is this giving them fish??these are hardworking people whose sweat has been stolen from! not lazy asses like u! shut your cursed mouth if u have nothing good to say
you can call me a fool and spit your vitriol..I will not respond negatively.my humble view is, If donations got him out of his predicament ,he would not have learned a valuable lesson about life
Satch Flight bohooo u already were negative with your pointless comment! learn to shut up sometimes
+Satch Flight wat do u mean ?giving them a person who´ve been wking up so early to get what he achieved plz keep ur comment if really don´t understand how the story goes
This is the saddest video i have watched in a while,,i could literally hear my heart beating....this is not fair at all but God will restore him,,,may he win the next race...i watched the pain in his wife and it tore me into two...why are people so ruthless?
What a tragic story, true piece of journalism. Thank you Dennis Okari for highlighting this issue. So now we live in a society that only looks at enriching ourselves. Yes money does give you all the material things you want but maybe getting rich is not as hyped up to be.
muya waiguru j. Please watch videos of Jim Nduruchi
that lawyer IS like waiguru apelekwe kamiti
The look on his face at 4:00.... geart wrenching. gotta feel for this chap... Ignorance was his biggest undoing.
Who loved the English of Bungei
I hope Justice Maraga was watching this. This lawyer is a shame and should be in Jail.
Isaac kipkemei terer aka a bloody thief. You know the truth. Even if he proposed the deal you knew you were partnering with a person who put all his trust in you coz of your education.
Why would he not take you to the cops? Are you serious? You can easily bribe your way out. You must return what belongs to them for your children's sake.
Honourable Sonko , pls step in and help this son of our Country , pls usimtupe ,
this is soo sad the lawyer should b exposd and God will punish him
Close observation shows the lawyer shivering in his shoes. Mr terer your days are numbered.
So sad
Its shame how the great heroes live poorly yet they lifted kenyas name on high...shame on the lawyer
Huyu mwanamke lazima apate ushauri nasaha bure depression inamumaliza
God is your lawyer don't worry 😢😢😢😢😢this man who did this evils even his children will not live happily,
Heartbreaking! " How can you do that to another human being? HOW?
The ministry for sports or the athletics board should form a counseling body for the athletes. The body should be responsible for among others financial counseling.
They have real relationship Goals. The guy had shortcomings but i hope they get justice. Nairobi is full of unscruplous men in the name of being proffesionals.Mungu hasahau mja wake.
Meanwhile am looking forward to January 2017 ill be glued on my Tv & i"ll keep praying he wins the race by the will of God.
You need prayers by a real man of God
the tears of this lady will never go in vain Terer you will never have peace for the rest of your life
This is so bad.I pray for Komen and his family to overcome the difficulties they are going through.
This lawyer assets and cash should be frozen ...anadanganya live ati haku sign any agreement juu walikuwa mabeste aii how arudishe na anyongwe
Aky its painful kukula jasho ya mtu haja fanya chochote.
God will stand with u mom
Go back to school mama...
Time to focus on looking forward and create a plan B,C and D.
utamlipia fees ama? they don't have money f'ckin idiot
So are you suggesting she wallows away in misery....at 30 she is still young...I won't use profanity like you but it seems like there's a picture of YOU next to the saying misery loves company!!!!
Bless you,,,DADDY!!!!
A senior person in Govt should intervene.
If the govt have ears and eyes,it has watched for itself.The lawyer is indisputably rogue and a thief.Relevant authorities kindly take charge,we need a re-run of the same,the lawyer jailed and the family getting back its share
How can you be joint purchasers when its only one party which is financing the whole deal? That lawyer is a conman, period!
he is Kenyan hero the qovernment shd take action n vry fast its so sad indeed n God grant u peace these r the first pple who make Kenya more popular outside Africa
Something must be done hata numetokwa na machozi ya uchungu poleni wanafamilia
Not the first and will not be the last.
huyu lawyer ako na watoto? generally, sometimes in humans life, thats why watu wanapata magonjwa hayana tiba kisha mtu ako na pesa but watoto wake wote wameoza....you have money but you cannot be even proud of your offsprings......reason? some things you did in life and left some people crying,,,,do you thing the cry of this woman and kids will go to the ground without touching your life?........i hear that you are running for a political seat.....are you doing that so that you can protect what you have taken in vain?.......indeed i cannot judge,,,,,but if indeed you are guilty,then may the Lord open your eyes so that you may do the right thing.Money is not everything but character and humanity ranks first.
May God guide him and his family to paradise for the pain and suffering they have gone through in the hands of their apathetic lawyer.
Okari, where is the intervention of the DPP's office? I thought these programs are to help the society root out the rot in the society? Kindly follow up and save the family
is that so called lawyer still alive... arrest him like yestrday.. i cant stand seeing the wife shading tears... surely
They can't arrest that lawyer coz Komen doesn't have a contract that showed they entered an agreement. The sad truth is that there is nothing that can be done about it.😔
That lawyer is one cursed mf 🤬
This case makes my head spin. How this NTV reporter is so calm interviewing this Isaac dude is beyond me. Interviewing him needs patience and inner peace.
Too sad and unbearable. But with God, no alcohol, loving family you'll come back brother.
Who will remind us as a Country called Kenya to read Job 20:verse4 - 29
#JusticeforKomen
This is really hurting. Kids of a former millionaire walking to school 2 kilometers. This is so painful. I hope the government did something about this.
That lawyer is lucky to be a live , chez na mahali ya mtu
The lawyer will get what he deserves,the ROD of the lord.
Someone gets his and family's bread by his sweat, literary, and another snatches it from him through his fingers typing on a key board in the name of "agreement". Lawyers of this country Kenya!
Kenya never arrested MOI for murders..no law.
I hop they got justice
May God punish this lawyer to his third generation. Amen
are you even fucking kidding me right now.
God does not even exist and your religious fanaticism is disturbing
Amen
I would rather invest in education and I will never return to Kenya to me it's a hell NO I'm extremely sorry 😐😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 that's the bitter truth by Steve Irungu Jermaine
And to cap it, he's running for an elected post...you start to imagine what he's going to do with the public funds..did I hear that he also holds a public office?
this man took the advantage of his clients trust.Huyu arudishe pesa yote plus interest ya the land he sold.mwizi mkubwa
It is evil to do this to a person who has trusted you. Keep hoping God will see you through
I find it hard to believe that a lawyer who knows the law and importance of contracts didn't think it was necessary to write one when getting to a joint venture. he says their relationship was friendship and business, Komen wasn't his friend till he approached him to be his lawyer, so I don't see friendship here other than totally business. it's a shame this lawyer took advantage of Komen's naivety and milked the guy dry. karma is real Mr Terer. What goes around comes around. Komen, your God is watching over you. Good luck next year
Lawyer or whatever he is Terer should be very embarrassed stealing from this young hardworking couple. Unfortunately such cases which are very many are dragged in court for years. This man should never be given any position of leadership ati speaker. Shame on him
If only Komen stuck to the Bank where the money was,He could be telling a different story.... The major traditional Banks have everything Komen needed.. Professional Financial Advisers.... But Komen missed that....Ole Wangu.....
I wish our Kenyan government can intervene to save this family .
GOD NEVER SLEEPS, AND LEAVE HIS PEOPLE
Most disheartening. I hope this matter can be taken up by the authorities for justice and restitution. Lsk must crack down on rogue members.
The lawyer shall not see good in his wicked life, how can he steal someone's sweat? Shame on him!!! What a shame. That guy needs to be arrested
Positive energy can go a long way!The glass is half full not empty!
May Almighty God hear your prayer Dorothy Komen!
I am sure this is not a unique story, many Kenyan athletes have fallen for the same trickery. Kenya Athletic Association need to do better by giving these athletes financial management courses or something. such a shame
How do you help after the interview
very sad...the lawyer will never know peace
This is just s reflection of what as a society Kenyans have become. very sic. we are not ashamed to steal from the hardworking people. People are here throwing stones at this lawyer yet they are the same ones that vote in this so called thieves. They dont care where one gets money from so long as u have money u are voted in and called muheshimiwa. May God forgive us.
pole to the athlete and his family
I feel so sorry of him.I am watching him...I am your fan.Plz athletes help him,he is one of u
Khai, for sure somebody anakula pesa ya mtu yote, with no mercy or remorse, may God see that womans tears and repay her and shame those thieves
