On the 'Iko Nini?' podcast, Fanya Mambo Kinuthia said the unnamed governor's demand drove F1 officials to Rwanda instead, linking it to lost opportunities like an NBA arena and other projects. He offered no names, dates, or proof, framing it as a secondhand cautionary tale about corruption. Skeptics quickly pointed out Kasarani Stadium is run by national Sports Kenya, not the county, and F1 facts don't match—promoters build tracks, Rwanda's bid is for 2029, and no records show interest in Nairobi. The claim highlights ongoing frustrations over graft but faces heavy pushback as unverified.
