“Controversial second-hand car dealer Joseph Kairo Wambui popularly known as “Khalif Kairo” who has recently been embroiled in a series of allegations involving fraudulent dealings, is once again in the spotlight.
This time, he is accused of scamming a client out of Ksh 2,220,000 after the buyer allegedly paid the full amount for a 2017 BMW X1, which was never delivered. Despite receiving the payment, Kairo is said to have failed to settle the supplier’s fees, leaving the car stranded in Mombasa for over a month.
The victim, whose car is now at risk of being auctioned, has demanded the return of the funds, but Kairo remains unresponsive.
According to the victim, the payment of Ksh 2,220,000 was made directly to Kairo’s KCB account as per the sales agreement. However, the supplier has allegedly confirmed that no payments were made on their end.” said Cyprian
