The arrest rumours began after Kairo was accused of failing to honour a business agreement, leading the other party to take legal action. His silence on social media added fuel to the fire, leaving followers concerned.
However, Kairo soon reappeared, sharing a post alongside his partner, Maria Wavinya, to dismiss the allegations of his arrest.
He was then reported to the police by the customer who claimed that he had already wired the money to the Kai & Karo Limited CEO, but he failed to deliver the vehicle. Although Kairo’s lawyer was said to have pleaded for his release, the police officers were hesitant to let him go.
According to the preliminary reports, Kairo claimed that he paid his supplier, but a debt of Ksh6 million caused the delivery delays.
Additionally, a sworn statement by Waithaka and Muthusi Advocates claimed that a customer filed a complaint against Kairo, alleging he failed to deliver a motor vehicle worth Ksh2.52 million purchased through his company, Kai and Karo. The car was to be delivered within 45 days, but Kairo reportedly failed to meet this deadline and ignored the client’s calls.
The advocate described Kairo’s failure to honour the contract as a serious breach of contract and a violation of the client’s rights. Kairo was then instructed to fulfil his obligations and deliver the vehicle in pristine condition within seven days, as per the Agreement for the Importation and Sale of Motor Vehicle.
As of Tuesday, he addressed the challenges facing his business, maintaining that the hurdles he faces are part of the entrepreneurial journey.
“These challenges that you see me go through are very normal in business especially when a company is growing. Every big entrepreneur at one point must face litigation or money problems especially when God is taking you to higher levels. To the ones reaching out, I am 100% okay and I will overcome,” he assured.
