Flamboyant city car dealer and social media influencer Joseph Kairo Wambui, popularly known as Khalif Kairo, has broken silence amidst rumours of his arrest.
In a statement, the businessman has said that he is indeed undoing challenges, but it is something every company that is growing goes through.
Further, he explained that the challenges include litigation and money problems.
However, he has sent his appreciation to individuals who are checking up on him.
“These challenges that you see me going through are very normal in business especially when a company is growing. Every big entrepreneur at one point must face litigation or money problems especially when God is taking you to higher levels.
“To the ones reaching out, I am 100 percent okay and I will overcome,” he stated.
However, the influencer sent a cryptic message indicating that he was at Kasarani police station.

His earlier Disappearance
In November, the car dealer was absent from social media for four days, sparking online speculation, with some alleging his arrest.
According to circulating reports, Kairo was allegedly arrested on accusations of obtaining money by false pretence.
Additionally, a sworn statement by Waithaka and Muthusi Advocates claimed that a customer filed a complaint against Kairo, alleging he failed to deliver a motor vehicle worth Ksh2.52 million purchased through his company, Kai and Karo.
The car was to be delivered within 45 days, but Kairo reportedly failed to meet this deadline and ignored the client’s calls.
The advocate described Kairo’s failure to honour the contract as a serious breach of contract and a violation of the client’s rights.
Kairo was instructed to fulfil his obligations and deliver the vehicle in pristine condition within seven days, as per the Agreement for the Importation and Sale of Motor Vehicle.
