Minister of State for Youth and Children Affairs, Hon. Dr. Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi, has responded to Pretty Nicole’s allegations of not receiving the promised benefits.
In one of her interviews, Pretty Nicole expressed frustration with Hon. Balaam for not fulfilling his promises to fund her education and a trip to Canada.
Nicole’s trip to Canada was to broaden her skills, which would be helpful to the government and the entire youth ministry.
The TikTok influencer stressed that Balaam was only using her to make news headlines, but he never followed through on all his promises.
Upon crossing paths with claims, Hon Balaam was so quick to respond. In the statement issued, he revealed that the Canadian visa application was denied, and that was beyond his control. He added that Nicole received all the necessary bank statements from Andrew Bajjo, and the events promoter can attest to that.
Regarding school fees, Balaam made it clear that he requested Mr. Onyango Robert to share the bank slip from Kyambogo, but unfortunately, it has not been provided to him.
