City car dealer Khalif Kairo continues to be held in remand after failing to meet the court’s bond requirements for his release. Kairo was arrested on March 25, 2025, and presented at the Kibera Law Courts the following day, where he was denied cash bail but granted a KSh2 million bond—a condition he has yet to fulfill.
According to Kairo, a well-connected woman, whose new car he failed to deliver, has vowed to continue frustrating him with arrests and allegedly threatened to have him locked up to teach him a lesson.
Until Kairo deposits a car logbook, a title deed, or any other appropriate document as collateral for his bond, he will remain in remand.
Kairo’s legal team has filed a constitutional appeal to review the criminal proceedings against him, arguing that the repeated arrests have damaged his business, forcing him to shut down his offices and lay off employees, further delaying car deliveries for other customers.
