BLM activist mayor 'blew thousands of taxpayer cash on luxury 20 day vacation to Ghana'

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Georgia mayor has been accused of blowing thousands in taxpayer money for a 20-day luxury vacation to Ghana.

Khalid Kamau, a Black Lives Matter activist who has renamed himself Mayor Kobi, allegedly used the city's funds for non-official activities like the Ghana trip, food and a $1,300 drone.

Kamau used a city-issued credit card to spend nearly $26,000 in unauthorized purchases between October and December, according to bank records seen by WSB-TV.

Kobi bought multiple plane tickets totaling over $5,000 - including a flight on Air Kenya that cost more than $1,500.

He also made a single purchase on Amazon of over $1,800.

Local Reshard Snellings told the local outlet he wants to know if the luxurious trip Kamau flaunted on Instagram was paid by taxpayer funds.

'I wanted to find out if taxpayers paid for this trip,' Snellings said.

'We should not be asked to go without something so that our elected officials can travel all over the globe.'

Mayor Kobi posted on Instagram throughout his trip to Ghana, flaunting the over-the-top welcome he received at the airport.

It included traditional dancers and a cavalcade of luxury cars to pick him up.

He also posted images partying with the locals and enjoying a spacious apartment.

Councilwoman Helen Z. Willis told WSB-TV that the city of Fulton has no business with Ghana or Africa.

'Not to my knowledge, that isn’t even a priority,' Willis said.

City council has been looking into the mayor's trip and his spending, with Willis adding that 'We need more economic development here and we don’t need to go to Africa in order for the city to have a multi-business deal.'

City rules dictate that employees must obtain written authorization from the Purchasing Director and City Manager before making any purchases with taxpayer funds.

Willis says the mayor did not follow the rules for the controversial purchases.

#1 Kamau the Quiet Warrior, or, "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Bell!"

Swahili word, from the Kikuyu,
For someone who'd sneakily do you
And never get caught:
"Is it in yet, or not?"
"Dude, I'm through. Like, I already knew you."

#2 Thought this would be an indictment against Bass, but I find this even more interesting.

#3 When did all this happen? Was Kamau there for the new Ghana president's inauguration, along with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass? They are, after all, birds of a feather.
