Koinange, hugely characterized by a popular phrase, "its smoking", cruises the streets of Nairobi in a Mercedes Benz G-class ride that has a factory invoice of over Sh 10 million before tax.

He lives in Kitisuru, a posh suburb in Nairobi, together with his lovely wife Shaila and son Jamal Mbiyu. Much of his family life is however kept out of the public domain.

Also in his possession is an original Partagas Series D Cuban Cigars estimated to cost of Ksh 500,000.

His wrist boasts a Breitling for Bentley watch held in place by a crocodile skin strap which costs a fortune. Such is his love for time pieces that he even had no qualms getting his radio co-host Jalang'o a Sh1.3 million watch.
