Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has once again landed in the gossip columns—this time over claims that he secretly flew six girlfriends to Dubai on a taxpayer-funded trip.
According to political insiders, the trip was presented as official business, but behind the scenes, whispers say it was nothing short of a luxury holiday.
From five-star hotels to high-end shopping, the Speaker’s alleged entourage is said to have enjoyed the finer things in life, all while Kenyans back home struggle with a biting economy.
The bombshell comes as reports indicate Kingi’s foreign travel budget has ballooned to a staggering Sh4 billion—a figure sparking outrage and raising serious questions about unchecked extravagance in his office.
The gossip has ignited a storm online, with Kenyans taking to X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Facebook to vent their anger:
“Six girlfriends in Dubai? Na sisi tunakula ugali na chumvi. These leaders don’t even pretend anymore!” – @Njeri254
“Sh4 billion for Kingi’s travels? That’s enough to build hospitals, schools and feed starving Kenyans. This is criminal.” – Brian, Nairobi
“Dubai is now the new Parliament. Imagine the Speaker is busy shopping while we suffer.” – Anonymous boda rider in Mombasa l
“Ruto should fire him after 2027. We can’t be paying tax for people’s love lives.” – @MkenyaHalisi
President William Ruto, sources say, is quietly fuming over Kingi’s excesses. There are whispers that the Head of State is considering sidelining him after the 2027 elections, frustrated by what insiders describe as “a pattern of wasteful spending that tarnishes the administration’s image.”
Kingi is no stranger to scandal. During his days as Kilifi Governor, he was accused of dipping into county coffers to sustain a flamboyant lifestyle and fund the socialite life of his then-girlfriend, Haentel Wanjiru.
The fresh Dubai saga now threatens to cement his reputation as one of Kenya’s most flamboyant and controversial politicians.
With the travel bill growing fatter by the day, Kenyans are left asking: Is Kingi serving the country or just serving himself?
