Mr Michael responds

Now addressed as ‘Uhunye’ in Nairobi’s Umoja estate, Mr Gitonga’s photos while in the fuel guzzler yesterday, has caused him nothing but trouble, raising eyebrows among Kenyans.

Responding to the claims, Michael Njogo denied being the proud owner of the 4-wheel drive, instead clarifying:

Fellow Kenyans, hii kitu watu wanasema nimepewa gari, hiyo ni uongo tupu! I am still in the house social distancing, nimetulia sina gari. Watu waache kudanganyana waongee ile ukweli iko.

A representative from the motor dealership, told a local publication yesterday that Mr Gitonga had actually visited the yard on August 12 intending to purchase a car.

Since he hit fame, Gitonga has admitted pressure has been mounted on him, with majority believing he has ties to the Kenyatta family but giving a different image on the outside.

He has however denied any ties to the royal family.
