Car dealer Khalif Kairo is facing public scrutiny on social media after attempting to sell a written off Ford Mustang from the UK for Ksh 8 million.
The controversy emerged when social media users, prompted by Cyprian is Nyakundi, investigated the vehicle’s history.
The Ford Mustang (5.0 V8 GT Fastback Euro 6 2dr) was found to have been listed on British dealerships like AutoTrader and Car Vertical in the CAT (S) salvage category, indicating it had previously been written off due to a structural blow to the chassis.
Addressing the allegations on social media, Kairo acknowledged the mistake, admitting that his company should have done a better job ensuring that the vehicles they import have no repair or damage history.
Regarding the Ford Mustang post, Kairo stated, “Mistakes happen. We cannot possibly verify all cars before we post since we list many cars a day. Please forgive us for this small mistake, and had you inquired about the car, the error would have been detected through our quality control. Apologies.”
Kairo shifted blame to his enemies and bloggers, asserting that their attempts to tarnish his reputation will not succeed. He highlighted that despite various allegations in the past, no customer has accused him of scams or wrongdoing.
“If Kaiandkaro was a struggling company, we wouldn’t face this much opposition. It’s only bloggers pushing their own agenda. They accused me of being involved in illegal activities, but it didn’t stick. Now that they see the companies are doing well, they want to redirect the energy towards us. Again, it won’t work,” he declared.
According to Kairo, the news represents a challenge that he will overcome, emphasizing personal growth and resilience. He contrasted his current mindset with his past.
“The biggest mistake my old enemies make is assuming they’re dealing with the old Kairo—naive, immoral, young, not focused, and a simp. The new Kairo is a focused man who prays every day, does 100 press-ups, and has God on his side. He is indestructible and now operates at a very high level.”
