Mystery Kenyan shocks many after buying Ksh.352 million worth of property in Dubai

Amid applause, a Springfield Properties sales executive is then called up to the front, as his colleagues celebrate him for making staggering sales which, according to him, totalled around AED 10 million (approximately Ksh.352 million).

"I want to call Anjal for closing a bulk deal," the event's master of ceremony says. "Ring the bell first, and then we will get into the details."

"So, how many units did you close?" Anjal is asked.

"I closed six units...for ten million (AED)..." he says.

The conversation gets juicer after he reveals that the client who bought all six units was actually from Kenya.

"Where was he from?" the MC asks.

"He's from Kenya!" Anjal replies.

He adds: "We sold a two-bedroom plus pool. Six units in Binghatti overall. Each price is around two million (AED). So, a total of more than ten million (AED)."

Anjal Singhv, a skilled sales representative at Springfield Properties, specialises in luxury properties from apartments, villas, townhouses and plots all across Dubai. 

He was named 'Agent of the Month' for March 2025. Alongside Hassan Bin Khalid, Anjal was also celebrated for closing the most number of deals for the months of October and November 2020.

After watching the video, many Kenyans on X  joined in the conversation, with most concluding that the 'Kenyan investor' in question must be from the political class, and the millions he splashed on lavish Dubai properties must be proceeds of corruption.

"The egregious theft and looting by our politicians is robbing the futures of many young Kenyans in plain sight. Africa is deliberately crafted for poverty," Wycliffe Otie said.

Someone else noted, "Someone from Kenya just bought apartments worth KES 350Million in Dubai. I'm sure a county somewhere, a ministry or a state department is crying in this country."

On her part, Jennifer Wanjiku wrote, "@EACCKenya you are a bunch of wage criminals waylaying just traffic cops while criminals loot our country. Once we have competent people in government in 2027, they should recover all this loot and use it as revenue stream to find out budget!"

"But surely? Why would you own a property in Dubai which you only visit for few days in a year? It's better you steal and invest in industries in Kenya. Unapeleka pesa Dubai leaving us languishing in poverty? These criminals don't even love the country they fight so much to lead!" Sam Nzomo wrote.

According to the Dubai Nomad, there are several factors which spur wealthy Kenyans into investing in Dubai and buying property in the luxurious Emirati state.

These factors include: Dubai's tax-free environment, lucrative rental yields, political stability and investment security, a booming real estate market, ease of foreign ownership and access to UAE residency.

"Kenya is emerging as an important market for us where affluent families are buying apartments to facilitate residence for their members pursuing an education or to house business partners who often visit Dubai,” said Alice Maigida of Danube Properties.

According to Maigida, a majority of Kenyans buying property in Dubai are interested in holiday homes and residences for children attending college.

“Some also seek to own fully furnished homes as an investment that can be leased to other Kenyan families visiting Dubai for a holiday,” she said.
