On December 25, 2019, Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua revealed he made a significant Sh36 million from the television series Cobra Squad.
According to Governor Mutua, the series' success is evident in the recent discussions about it by Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen and his National Assembly counterpart Aden Duale.
‘I’m very happy that Murkomen and Duale are talking about Cobra Squad and it was successful and I’m glad it made at least KSh.25 million for the first season. For the second one, I made KSh.11 million. So when they say it wasn’t successful I’m shocked,’ he said during an interview with K24.
When questioned about his recent allegations that Deputy President William Ruto, Murkomen, and Duale threatened him at State House, Nairobi, Mutua maintained his stance.
‘Ruto, Murkomen, and Duale thought I was attacking them when I called for lifestyle audit, fight against graft and land-grabbing. All I have talked about is a lifestyle audit. We need to know where one got the choppers he has, land or buildings,’ he added.
