A controversial mayor of Georgia and the former organizer of Black Lives Matter stormed from a municipal meeting while furious residents interviewed him about the use of a city credit card for lush purchases.
Mayor South Fulton Khalid Kamau, known as mayor Kobi, destroyed his own voters for quoting his expenses, including a $ 1,800 agency that can be converted into a pool table and more than $ 9,000 in a month on a trip, including flight upgrades .
This month he was also accused of blowing up thousands of tax money for a 20-day luxury holiday to Ghana, with further purchases reporting also including a drone of $ 1,300.
Kamau shot back on Tuesday during a tense municipal meeting: “I am so sad and disappointed that the blackest city in one of the blackest states in the United States of America is on the way to the Black History Month, we tear each other.”
Councilor Helen Willis hit his attempts to avoid the interrogation, and answered, “We don't tear you down, you took your black behind to Africa for 20 days and didn't tell anyone.”
The hostile exchange came after residents had confronted Kamau with his alleged incorrect action of tax money, because the local Patricia Wise said the council: “You have to do better, you really have to do better.”
After being confronted with the attack, Kamau ran out of the meeting when the hearing focused on discussing a new policy and refused to give an explanation for his enormous expenses, per WSBTV.

Kamau, known as mayor Kobi, navigated his own voters for quoting his expenses and said that he was 'sad and disappointed' that he was being questioned 'on his way to Black History Month'
Kamau, a self-described socialist, became the mayor of South Fulton in January 2022 and claims to be 'America's first #Blacklivesmatter organizer who was chosen in the public office'
Kamau, a self-described socialist, became the mayor of South Fulton in January 2022 and claims a public office on his website as 'America's first #Blacklivesmatter organizer'.
The 92 percent Afro -American population of South Fulton makes it the 'blackest city in America', and the Kamau website states that he is 'on a mission to make the blackest city black in America.'
“That means a city that is not only unapologetically about its demography, but deliberately a laboratory for economic, housing and restorative justice policy are aimed at improving the lives of Afro -Mamerikans,” the site says.
Kamau tried to use the demography of his city to avoid questions about his alleged mismanagement of taxpayers, apparently furious that he was being investigated 'on his way to the Black History Month'.
Months of alleged error storage were unveiled by WSBTV in January because he was accused of using the Credit Cards issued by the city to spend almost $ 26,000 on 'unauthorized journeys, food and other costs' between October and December.
Bank records quoted by the outlet showed purchases, including a drone of $ 1,300, an Amazon order of $ 1,800 and flight upgrades, despite upgrades against the policy of the city costs.
Kamau has branded the allegations against him a 'smear campaign', but has reportedly not answered any questions in recent weeks to explain his purchases, reportedly a total of 112 outstanding vouchers in the few months.
Kamau, depicted with congress member Jasmine Crockett in Texas, noticed the allegations against him a 'smearing campaign', but has reported not to answer any questions in recent weeks to explain nearly $ 26,000 in purchases between October and December
Much of the control over Kamau's editions fell on a 20-day luxury journey he took to Ghana, which he documented on his social media
Residents wondered if the trip to Ghana was paid by taxpayers, with the holidays including several aircraft tickets of more than $ 5,000
The mayor showed off the trip to his Instagram account, including the excessive welcome that he received at the airport with a cavalcade of luxury cars to pick it up
Much of the check on the expenditure of Kamau has fallen on a 20-day luxury journey that he took to Ghana, including several airline tickets of a total of more than $ 5,000.
The mayor showed off the trip to his Instagram account, including the exaggerated welcome welcome that he received at the airport.
It saw traditional dancers welcome him at the airport and a cavalcade of luxury cars to pick it up.
He also posted images that party with the locals and enjoys a spacious apartment.
Councilor Helen Z. Willis told WSB-TV that the city of Fulton has no business with Ghana or Africa.
“I don't know that isn't even a priority,” Willis said at the time.
The city council has investigated the journey of the mayor and its expenditure, whereby Willis adds that “we need more economic development here and we don't have to go to Africa to have the city a multi-business deal.”
