Sammy Kioko Reveals Machakos Government Has Only Paid Him Ksh 20K Out Of Ksh 19 Million Owed

Popular comedian and content creator Sammy Kioko has launched a scathing attack on the Machakos County Government, accusing Governor Wavinya Ndeti’s administration of “extreme manipulation” over a long-standing debt. Kioko claims he is owed Ksh19 million for uniforms delivered to the county, yet he has received almost nothing in return.

“A Drop in the Ocean”: The Ksh20,000 M-Pesa Payment

In a frustrated update shared on his Facebook account on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, Kioko revealed that the only payment he has seen toward the multi-million shilling debt is a mere Ksh20,000. To substantiate his claims, the comedian posted a screenshot of an M-Pesa message allegedly sent by the County’s Chief Finance Officer.

“Out of 19 million, the only money that we have received is 20K,” Kioko stated. He described the small payment as an insult, suggesting it was sent as “pocket money” to silence him while officials decided whether to honor the full contract. “This is the highest level of manipulation and intimidation… they sent it so we can ‘get something to eat’ while they think about if they will ever pay us.”

Documenting the Struggle: Confrontations at County Offices

Kioko’s fight for payment has become a public saga, with the comedian frequently recording his visits to the Machakos County offices to show his followers the hurdles he faces.

A particularly tense video from February 17, 2026, captured a confrontation between Kioko and the County Executive Committee (CEC) Member for Finance. In the recording, the Minister is heard angrily dismissing Kioko’s plea.

The official reportedly cited ill health before referring the comedian to the Chief Officer, leaving the matter unresolved.

Silence from Governor Wavinya Ndeti’s Administration

Despite the viral nature of Kioko’s posts and the gravity of the allegations, the Machakos County Government has yet to issue a formal statement regarding the Ksh19 million tender or the alleged mistreatment of the supplier.

Kioko maintains that the delay has crippled his business operations, and he has vowed to continue his public campaign until the administration settles the balance in full. As of March 26, 2026, the standoff continues to draw significant attention from residents concerned about the county’s procurement and payment processes.
