The City Council of South Fulton, Atlanta, has voted to audit South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau’s expenditures after making over $26,000 worth of purchases, including a trip to Africa.
The Mayor, who plans to legally change his name to Kobi, was previously arrested while serving as Mayor in 2023 on charges of first-degree burglary and criminal trespassing. Kamau reportedly entered somebody’s lake house before 7 am one morning and got into a heated confrontation with the owner of the house before police arrived.
Upon being arrested for trespassing and attempted burglary, he told a reporter, “I just wanted to see the house… I thought it was abandoned.” He continued, “I hope that the spotlight that is on our city right now will highlight some of the inequities that have been happening.”
“I think that’s for the voters to decide,” he responded when asked if he was guilty.
