The Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain plane was among several others, that were auctioned off by the government on August 9, 2019.
According to the original request for bids document published by the government on local dailies, Jaguars' purchase set him back a cool Ksh 120,000.
The legislator posted a picture of himself next to the junk aircraft, which he installed at his private residence, as some sort of monument.
Jaguar, who is widely known for his flashy lifestyle, also shared photos of a team of workers as they repainted the plane.
