Embattled car dealer Khalif Kairo is looking for a bedsitter in the Githurai and Mwihoko areas of Nairobi.
The once-flamboyant city car dealer took to his X platform account to ask his followers for leads to affordable bedsitters along Thika Road.
“Post for me bedsitters going for Ksh 10,000 around Thika Road in the comment section. I need to know where I will go whether it is Githutrai or Mwihoko,” stated Kairo.
He also stated that he will no longer be concerned about other material things as long as he is healthy and alive.

“The greatest gift is being alive and healthy. These other things are a bonus from God,” he added.
Before being embroiled in legal battles, Kairo’s life was characterized by luxury and opulence. In September 2024, the entrepreneur publicly declared his net worth to be over Ksh1 billion.

He often traveled in private jets, and he did not shy away from flaunting on social media. He also owned several high-end cars including a Porsche Cayenne.
Kenyans on social media have not spared the car dealer, with many reacting to his downfall, stating that he was arrogant while he was still doing well.
“Life can teach you hard lessons. You made some of us think bedsitters were meant for the poor,” stated Abel Maiko.
Fans respond to Kairo
“From soft life to hunting bedsitters? Bro, Life comes at you fast,” stated Davis Kenya.
Others, however, also took the chance to encourage him stating that he would bounce back.
“It shall be well man. You are an inspiration no matter what you are going through,” stated Edwin Kinyua.

Khalif Kairo, whose real name is Joseph Kairo Wambui, was arrested on December 2, 2024, over claims of failure to deliver a high-end car to a client despite the client having paid the money in full. This marked the beginning of Kairo’s woes.
Kairo’s legal woes
He was arrested again in January 2025 over similar claims and was charged with defrauding a client.
He later put up a paybill on his social platforms appealing to well-wishers for financial assistance. The Kai and Karo founder has remained positive that he will rise again.
“We found ourselves in this mess because it is the nature of business. All businesses have to go through challenges. Especially startups which are on the verge of collapse due to cash flow challenges resulting from client and bank mistrust,” stated Kairo.
