CAR DEALER KHALIF KAIRO DETAINED AWAITING BAIL RULING.

BY SAM ALFAN.

City based car dealer and the owner of Khalif Kairo has been charged with using fraudulent tricks to induce two car buyers to pay Sh5 million towards importation of two motor vehicles.

Joseph Kairu Wambui appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina and denied the charges.

Kairo is accused of inducing Jeff Kyule Munane to pay Sh.2.14 million towards importation of motor vehicle make Honda Vezel Hybrid from Japan, which was never delivered.

The charge sheet stated that he committed the offence on diverse dates between July 10, 2024 and July 29, 2024, at Westlands in Nairobi, by means of fraudulent tricks.

It is further alleged that between July 29 and 16 November, 2024, at unknown location in Kenya, he allegedly induced Dona Ayalo Okoth to transfer Sh2,984,998 into Kai & Karo Limited, for the purchase of a Subaru Outback.

The charge sheet said he obtained the money by falsely pretending that he was in a position to import the vehicles.

The prosecution opposed his release on bail, arguing that he was a flight risk. But his lawyers said he was a known businessman.

The court will rule on his application to be released on bail, on January 14.
