South Fulton mayor stripped of most privileges, must return expensive items he purchased

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — South Fulton city councilmembers voted late Tuesday to strip Mayor Khalid Kamau, now known as Mayor Kobi, of most of his privileges.

For weeks, Channel 2 investigator reporter Ashli Lincoln has been looking into allegations that the mayor misused taxpayer money on international trips and lavish office furniture.

The mayor previously told Lincoln that his trips were business-related and were a part of his economic development and world tour.

During Tuesday night’s council meeting, the council held a public vote to approve stripping the mayor of his oversight privileges and to remove his budget with the exception of his salary and benefits.

He must return his city-issued vehicle, a more than $1,000 recreational pool table from his office and equipment from his $20,000 media studio. The mayor must also return a $1,300 drone he purchased. He has until the end of the day Wednesday to return the equipment.

Here’s the other actions the council is taking.
