Investor seeks to reinstate lawyer’s fraud prosecution over house sale
The 17-year ownership saga over the Kilimani property has sparked fresh civil land cases.
Monica Jackline Wambui, an investor, is attempting to reinstate a fraud prosecution against her ex-lawyer and the property buyer accused of fraudulently transferring ownership of her Nairobi home valued at Sh45 million. Wambui's lawyer argues that the former lawyer, Chege Wainaina, and the buyer, Lucy Wairimu Mwangi, exploited Wambui's illness to carry out the fraudulent transfer.
The High Court had previously suspended the prosecution process after a local firm challenged the bid requirements. The recent setback for Nairobi Senator also reinforces the court's decision to uphold the process for his removal, with the court highlighting that the succession process was based on incomplete information regarding Wambui's surviving children.
