Cost Of The Car Joho Was Spotted Driving That Has Left Kenyans Talking

Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho has become the subject of online debate after he was spotted driving a Ferrari Purosangue, which is reportedly the first of its kind in Kenya. Photos and videos of the luxury Italian SUV have been shared widely, drawing plenty of comments.

According to the reports, the car has a starting price of about £313,000, which is roughly KSh 53.6 million. Its estimated landed cost in Kenya exceeds KSh 100 million once taxes and shipping are added. These are estimates, and no receipt or official figure has been shared. It is not known who owns the vehicle or how it came into the country.

The Purosangue is Ferrari’s first four door model and is built as a high performance SUV. Its rarity in the Kenyan market is what has made the sighting stand out. Few cars at that price level are seen on local roads, so any new arrival tends to attract attention.

Joho has long been known for his taste in fashion and cars, and the sighting fits that image. He has not commented on the reports, and the details of the car’s registration or ownership have not been made public. The reports do not say whether it belongs to him or whether he was only driving it.

As a public officer, any display of wealth by a sitting Cabinet Secretary tends to spark questions about how it was funded. Some Kenyans have asked for clarity on the ownership, while others have said that a person’s private property is their own business unless there is proof of wrongdoing.

Reactions online were mixed. Many were amazed by the price tag and compared it to the cost of living, with some joking that the car costs more than whole villages earn in a lifetime. Others praised the sleek design and said it shows how far the local luxury car market has grown.
