The couple has however disputed the claims that they evaded tax duty, stating that he bought the car last year in a showroom.

In a phone interview with Nairobi News, Mr Theuri said the car was actually a birthday gift to his wife.

Yes, I gave the vehicle to my wife as a gift.

But the truth is I bought it in a show room.

The Embakasi MP however, did not disclose details of the show room he purchased the car from.

Mr Theuri had presented the car to his wife last year in a flashy birthday party whose photos were shared across various social media platforms.
