FACTS, since we are here. Full STAGE that we used: 1. 4 dome trusses - from Soirée 2. Side trusses - from other providers 3. Stage platforms - from other providers Timmy’s charges: 1. K4mil for the 4 trusses (this was paid before the show) 2. K1.4mil for installation and taking down (this was also paid) Total for using the 4 trusses - K5.4mil(paid) Logistics: Their instruction: USE A 10 TONNE TRUCK ONLY when delivering. I hired a 10tonne truck for delivery, the things were carried, one person from their team was even present and guided the track where to go. I was not there, just my team member. The Unforeseen Circumstance: I got a call that ONE of the trusses was tripped by an electric line, and because paja its pipes are hollow, it’s bent and damaged. I called Timmy immediately, we spoke, and I asked him to assess the damage and let me know. He then asked for a physical meeting, with his team, and I met them. I told them I take full responsibility coz the thing was under my care, but I asked them to also acknowledge that there was an element of an accident. But still, I assured them I will take responsibility. The Damage Cost: He then created a WhatsApp group, and informed me it will cost around K5mil to fix the single truss that was damaged. I immediately responded that I think the cost is too high, and that we will need to involve my team during procurement process, to verify prices. Also we should be allowed to directly engage and pay whichever welders they select. I also mentioned that since these are not small figures, the issue may not be resolved as quickly as they demanded. He responded by denying all my propositions. Of which I did not respond immediately. This particular conversation happened on Thursday. I missed a single of his on Friday at 5:35pm, when I visited the group chat, and I found that he had removed me. I called him earlier on today. He didn’t pick, he then returned the call, I took a picture of where I was, to show that I can’t pick a call but I will call him back right after, of which he responded, “no need. it’s out of my hands now.” Next thing people are calling me about a twitter thread. Now we here. I won’t comment further on this issue. I believe our teams will be involved, and a resolution will be reached. Thanks.
