Shrewd businessman Kirimi Koome has suffered a blow yet again after the high court extended orders freezing Sh 400 M which belongs to Rwandese investor that he has fraudulently laid claim to.
Koome will not have access to the said money pending mention of the case before the trial judge Alfred Mabeya on November 20.
In the case, Rwandan Investor Desire Muhinyuza has filed a case telling court that Koome has fraudulently laid claim to the money which does not belong to him and he had already withdrawn some amount from it.
This led Judge Mabeya to issue orders freezing the account that is in contention and Koome has since been charged with fraud before the lower court for allegedly withdrawing the money.
The matter was coming up for mention today before the Deputy Registrar to take dates because the matter was supposed to be mentioned yesterday which was a national holiday.
While addressing the court, Lawyer Danstan Omari for Desire asked the DR to extend the orders saying over Sh 400 M is at stake if the freezing order will not be made.
“Your honour this is a matter where at stake is Sh 400 M that have been frozen by the court consent will not come from the other side, if the orders are not extended the money will disappear and the mention date will be an academic process,”
The DR allowed the application for extension of orders freezing the money pending mention before the Justice Mabeya.
