What goes up must come down—and for once-celebrated city car dealer Kairo, the descent has been anything but smooth.
Disgraced city car dealer, who was arrested on Tuesday shortly after attending a court session, will remain in remand after he failed to raise a Ksh 2 million bond.
Fresh off a court session on Tuesday, Kairo barely had time to stretch his legs before he was nabbed and thrown right back into legal hot water. The reason? Yet another car buyer has come forward, claiming they paid in full but never saw their shiny new ride.
“Show Me the Money!”—Or Not
The Kibera Law Courts tried to give Kairo a way out, slapping him with a Ksh 2 million bond. But when it came time to cough up the cash, Kairo came up dry. With no option for bail, he was left with one choice—remand.
Taking to social media (because what’s a legal battle without an online rant?), Kairo painted himself as a man under siege:
“I keep trying to rebuild and settle issues, but the police frustration is really taking a toll. I will not be able to raise the 2M bond, so it’s remand for now. We will rebuild, restructure, and God will see us through. Am going offline, nawapenda, and keep praying for me.”
And just when you thought the drama was over, Kairo aimed his frustrations at a certain DCI officer, daring him with some rather extreme options:
“Mr. Paul Wachira of DCI_Kenya, I am giving you two options. 1. Kill me 2. Leave me alone. I do not fear anyone under the sun, na si wewe umeniweka hii town. Even if you compromise the system to frustrate me, my God is bigger and I will still win.”
The Plot Thickens—Again
This isn’t Kairo’s first rodeo with the law. His latest arrest comes after a slew of similar fraud accusations. This time, he allegedly took full payment for a BMW but never delivered it.
Adding insult to injury, Kairo was actually arrested inside Milimani Law Courts—right after attending a mention for three other ongoing fraud cases. Talk about bad timing.
A Trail of Empty Promises
Kairo’s troubles stretch back months. In January 2025, he managed to dodge prolonged jail time by securing a personal bond of Ksh 3 million. His lawyer argued that he couldn’t afford cash bail, and the court even gave him back his passport, allowing him to fly to the USA for “fundraising purposes” (whatever that means).
But fundraising didn’t seem to fix his problems. By the end of January, he was charged with conning a customer out of Sh3,045,000 by promising to import a Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 from Japan. Spoiler alert: no Tiguan ever arrived.
And the list goes on…
- – July 2024: Kairo allegedly took Sh2,145,150 from a client for a Honda Vezel Hybrid—no car, just vibes.
- – Also July 2024: Another victim says he paid Sh2.9 million for a Subaru Outback that never showed up.
