Former Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho on Saturday, June 10, made a rare public appearance when he attended the Boyz II Men concert at Uhuru Gardens, Nairobi.
In a video that made rounds online, vehicle enthusiasts could not help but notice the British machine he stepped out of.
The gold-plated Bentley Mulsanne turned heads during his entrance to the concert. The machine's retail price is estimated at Ksh30 million.
Prompted about the concert, the politician heaped lots of praise on the performances and was particularly impressed with the event organisers respecting the audience's time.
"(The show) was great and amazing over the fact that the show ended at 10:00 pm so we can go home early. I liked all the Boyz II Men songs but 'End of the Road' is quite something," he stated before boarding the sleek vehicle.
Further, the former governor was flanked by tight security who monitored his every move.
