Before embattled city car dealer Khalif Kairo set up his own company, he was just another employee working under a successful businessman.
His former boss, Clement, was an established car dealer who had built his name through hard work and trust. Clement owned IBK, a car yard that specialized in high-end vehicles, catering to wealthy clients who wanted luxury cars.
Kairo was lucky to be introduced into this business by Clement, who saw potential in him and decided to mentor him.
Clement did more than just offer Kairo a job. He took him under his wing, teaching him the ins and outs of the car importation business. Kairo was not just any employee; he was treated like family.
Clement ensured that Kairo lived a good life, funding his luxurious lifestyle. He paid for his expensive trips abroad, covered his rent in a high-end apartment, and even gave him access to big business deals.
Clement trusted him, believing that Kairo was a loyal and hardworking person who would eventually help expand the business. However, this trust turned out to be a costly mistake.
Kairo repaid Clement’s generosity with betrayal. Instead of showing gratitude, he allegedly started working behind his boss’s back, plotting how to bring him down.
It is said that Kairo managed to steal Ksh 50 million from Clement, a move that not only hurt the business but also exposed the man who had helped him to financial losses.
Clement had built IBK over years of hard work, but Kairo’s actions put everything at risk.As if stealing millions was not enough, Kairo went a step further to destroy Clement’s personal life. He was reportedly in possession of private photos of Clement enjoying himself with several women during a trip to Mombasa.
These photos were meant to remain private, but Kairo had other plans. Instead of keeping them to himself, he sent them directly to Clement’s wife.
The result was disastrous. The photos caused a storm in Clement’s marriage, leading to a painful divorce. What was once a happy home was torn apart by Kairo’s betrayal.
After causing so much damage to the man who had helped him, Kairo went ahead to use the stolen money to start his own car yards. His business was built on stolen wealth and betrayal, but he presents himself as a self-made entrepreneur.
Behind the flashy cars and big talk, his foundation is rotten. The industry knows his story, and the truth about how he got his start will always follow him.
His actions serve as a reminder that trust can be dangerous, and those who rise through deception will always have skeletons in their closets.
