The laughter has turned into rage as famed comedian Sammy Kioko now finds himself entangled in a web of deceit, manipulation, and looming legal peril. His viral claims — that the Machakos County Government owes him KSh 19 million for goods allegedly supplied — have now collapsed under the weight of evidence proving them to be false, fabricated, and malicious. According to official records, Kioko has no contract, no invoice, and no traceable transaction with the county government. The Machakos administration has termed his allegations defamatory and misleading, making it clear that legal action is imminent against the comedian who tried to weaponize comedy for political and personal gain.
Explosive revelations from the Kambaland Investigative Desk have exposed the real face behind the farce. The genuine supplier in this saga is a lady entrepreneur who legally won the tender to supply inspectorate uniforms, and not Machakos youth service uniform which Sammy Kioko purports , the lady with all verified documentation — from signed contracts to county correspondence — confirming her legitimacy. Yes, Kioko might knows this lady personally, but evidence proves he was never part of the deal, owns no shares in her company, and has no legal claim to the payment he so loudly demanded and which the payment process is ongoing as per procurement procedures. In a shocking twist, it is now feared that Kioko was promised a hefty commission by the lady and certain political operatives —as reward he would receive if he managed to blackmail the county government into releasing payment for the tender. His attempt to hijack the deal and pose as the aggrieved supplier was nothing more than a calculated act of extortion dressed in comedy.
Behind the laughter, a darker game was being played. Investigators believe Kioko became a pawn in a political smear campaign, funded by Machakos power brokers desperate to dent Governor Wavinya Ndeti’s growing influence. His drunken rants and staged videos outside the governor’s office — where he tearfully claimed the county had driven him to financial ruin — were choreographed performances meant to provoke public outrageand paint the county government as corrupt. But the plot has backfired spectacularly. Kioko’s lies have not only exposed his alleged paymasters but have also revealed the disturbing rise of digital mercenaries — influencers for hire who trade truth for chaos and clout.
Machakos County’s Finance Minister Catherine Mutanu has put the matter to rest with a firm statement: “There is no record of any supply, contract, or payment owed to Sammy Kioko.”The lady supplier remains the only legitimate contractor recognized by law, and Kioko’s involvement is nothing more than political theatre and comedy. As the dust settles, the once-beloved comedian is now viewed as a symbol of betrayal — a man who sold his integrity for a promise of commission and the fleeting thrill of controversy. The county’s residents have made their verdict clear: the joke has gone too far, and this time, the punchline could land Sammy Kioko in a courtroom — not a comedy stage.
