Kenyans were all up in arms after the 'Sex and the Sugar Daddy' documentary aired on BBC Africa.

This is because they felt that the corporation should focus on 'positive' women and not depict Kenyan ladies as women with 'loose morals'.

The already hostile reception was compounded by Bridget Achieng who claimed that BBC had twisted the documentary to make her look bad. Allan Namu who worked on the controversial documentary has now come out to defend the documentary and has spoken about Bridget Achieng's complains.

"I don't agree with people's sentiments that the documentary was meant to humiliate girls . That was the reality of someone's life, that was someone's story and if you look at even the news today, what are we seeing? Hiyo ni reality ama si reality? Girls are choosing to become the partners of people simply for money. And I am not saying that men don't play that role, in fact, I think its men who instigate that. It comes from the man pushing, from a man's greed and we should stop that kind of behavior. The truth of the matter is that she lived a certain life, she has moved on from it and we featured that and she talked about it. And she talked about it from a cautionary point of view. Nilipitia and these things are not very good. I don't understand why things happened the way they did after." Allan revelead.
