On Wednesday, January 29, Kairo faced two separate charges of cheating, contrary to Section 315 of the Penal Code.

For each charge, the court granted him a cash bail of Sh1 million, with an alternative bond option.

One of the charges alleges that Kairo, between July 10, 2024, and July 25, 2024, at Westlands, used fraudulent tricks to allegedly induce one of his clients to pay him Sh2.1 million.

The payment was allegedly made through his company, Kai & Kairo Limited, for the importation of a Honda Vezel hybrid from Japan, which the charge sheet indicates was allegedly never delivered.

A similar offence was allegedly committed against another client, who allegedly transferred Sh2.98 million into the Kai & Kairo Limited KCB bank account for the purchase of a Subaru Outback—a transaction Kairo allegedly knew to be false.

This offence reportedly took place between July 29, 2024, and November 16, 2024.
