The county government of Machakos has demanded documents from Steve Thompson Magana, popularly known as Oga Obinna, showing that comedian Sammy Kioko supplied goods to the county.
In a letter dated November 12, 2025, the County Solicitor charged Obinna to provide records or evidence proving that the county government owed Sammy Kioko money.
The letter referenced a YouTube episode of Obinna Show Live titled “When Politics Crushes Dreams Sammy Kioko’s Heartbreaking Story,” in which Kioko, as the guest, discussed challenges he allegedly faced after supplying goods to the county.
The Background of the story
Over the past weeks, comedian Sammy Kioko has been sharing online the struggle he is going through as a result of financial constraints.
He later shared how he had tried reaching out to Machakos Governor Wavinya Wandeti over pending payments to the tune of Ksh19 million and how he was denied entrance to the Machakos White House, the county’s headquarters.
The comedian also revealed that he was forced to close his shops because he could no longer afford to pay his employees or fund the tailoring shop.

On November 3, the county dismissed the claims of tender irregularities by Dr. Joseph Mathuki, the county’s head of procurement.
He stated that Kioko was not the director of the company that procured uniforms for the county, and termed the allegations “politically motivated”.
