Renowned car dealer Khalif Kairo has issued a statement after spending two days at Capital Hill Police Station following an incident reportedly involving a Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officer and a client.
In a statement on Monday, January 13, he shed light on the events that led to his arrest, further claiming that some influential individuals were leveraging their connections within law enforcement to frustrate him.
"I have spent the past two days at Capital Hill Police Station as a guest of the state. This follows an altercation on Saturday at Nairobi Area Police Station with a DCI officer and a client who was determined to humiliate me by secretly recording videos of the arrest and interrogation," Kairo said.
He added;
"I have endured significant harassment past few weeks and despite my insistence that we amicably sort issues using civil procedures, some well-connected clients have been using some DCI officers to frustrate me making it even more difficult for us to conduct business and address their issues which are civil in nature and backed by commercial agreements."

Kairo emphasized that the issues he is facing are commercial rather than criminal, attributing it to economic challenges affecting business owners in the country.
“I am not a criminal but one of the many honest business owners in Kenya experiencing challenges due to tough economic times,” he asserted.
Kairo who is expected to be presented before Milimani Law Courts also expressed gratitude for the support he received during the ordeal.
"I will be presented in court at Milimani Law Courts shortly. I appreciate the massive support, messages of hope, prayers, and goodwill I have received from the public.
"May God bless you. I remain strong, committed to resolving any pending issues and I know that this is a phase we will overcome as a company," he concluded his statement.
