Sammy Kioko’s row with the county government of Machakos has escalated, with the comedian saying that he was mishandled when he went to demand payments.
Kioko staged another sit-down and captured his ordeal in a video, giving the public a rare glimpse of what he goes through every other time he goes to demand his money.
Kioko camped at the offices on Monday, February 17, 2026 and shared a video which revealed how he was mishandled by the County Officials.
The video captures the Machakos Minister in Charge of Finance angrily dismissing Kioko, with the comedian noting with concern that a leader who should listen to him and help in resolving the matter was the same one losing her temper and shouting and dismissing them.
In the video, Kioko addressed the Minister of Finance in the County who mishandled Kioko.
“Today I want to talk to Waziri wa Finance, Machakos County. Sijui tumekosea wapi madam? Sijui kwa nini uko na hasira hivo,” Kioko said before unleashing an audio of his interaction with the Minister.
He unleashed an audio to support his claims that they have in the past been roughed up and continue to face hostility and being mishandled whenever he goes to demand his money.
“Maisha yetu imesimama, tunataka tu pesa yetu,”Kioko is heard saying, with the Minister interrupting him.
“Si mimi nimesimamishaa (I am not the one who has stopped your lives),” the Minister says, adding that she is unwell before dismissing them and referring them to the Chief Officer in charge of Finance.
The comedian made it clear that all he wants is his money, dismissing claims that he is being used to push a political agenda.
“I don’t have money, I am not happy, and I am unwell,” the Minister is heard shouting at Kioko, refusing to listen to the comedian’s pleas for help.
“Frustrations speak loudly when solutions are the problem. Where did humanity even go? If that’s how the Minister of Finance can handle our situation with a lot of emotions, anger and intimidations how do we even get helped? The people meant to fix things are the ones breaking the,” Kioko lamented.
