Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu is facing legal action as auctioneers, backed by police, prepare to seize household items from her Runda home.
The move comes after a Nairobi court ordered the attachment of her property over alleged rent arrears totaling Ksh 1.25 million.
Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate A.H. Nyoike issued the order on November 11, 2024, directing the Runda Police Commander to facilitate the auctioneers in executing the court order.
Senator Nyamu has vehemently denied the allegations, claiming she had a purchase agreement with the landlord, James Gichuru Kirubi.
She further stated that a portion of her deposit was used as rent payment. Despite her claims, she has vowed to challenge the court’s decision.
Court records reveal that Kirubi initially sought an attachment order in 2023 for unpaid rent amounting to Ksh 385,000.
Runda Police Commander Rose Ndolo confirmed receipt of the court order and assured that police officers will be deployed to maintain law and order during the attachment process.
