Entrepreneur Joseph Kairo Wambui, also known as Khalif Kairo, has addressed allegations of bankruptcy related to his company, Kairo and Karo, which specializes in car sales and importation.
This comes after images circulating on social media showed his car yard nearly empty.
In a video shared on Wednesday, Kairo dismissed claims that his company is facing bankruptcy, stating that these accusations are part of a smear campaign aimed at damaging his reputation.
“Our company has encountered challenges over the past few months, much like many other businesses in Kenya. However, as a young company, we have been subjected to some of the worst smear campaigns ever,” Kairo said.
Khalif Kairo has denied that his company is going bankrupt
He reassured his customers and partners that the company is not shutting down.
“Kairo is not going anywhere. I am not closing my company. I have not gone bankrupt; we are still in business,” he clarified.
In response to images circulating on social media showing his car yard on Kiambu Road nearly empty since December 23, Kairo clarified that the yard is being renovated and that all showrooms are scheduled to reopen on January 7, 2025.

The 28-year-old stated that he will not stop doing business despite facing online attacks with reports about financial issues at the Kai and Karo company.
