It’s quite unbefitting for a Governor to control private entities for his own political whims. It has been brought to my attention that the Governor of Mombasa, @A_S_Nassir has been busy threatening a private company to pull down my IEBC adverts that were encouraging voter registration in Mombasa. Surely, Mr.Governor, how can an IEBC message rattle you to this extent? You better start getting used to seeing me in all corners of Mombasa because what’s coming is INEVITABLE!

Here’s the message to All Mombasa residents who are yet to register:

CHUKUA KURA TUJIKOMBOE!

Why can’t the government take precautionary measures like closing schools in the affected areas for the next one week and advising on mitigation plans… An alert is just never enough if you are talking of millions of people likely to be displaced

I think many people are not fully understanding Raphael Tuju's case. Before I repost, here's a blow-by-blow account of the case as explained by a reputable lawyer!

Here's a simple analogy that everyone can relate to:

Imagine you sit down with your very rich uncle, who agrees to help you start an Uber business.

The agreement is this: It's a loan. You raise 30% of the car's value yourself, then he pays the remaining 70%. After that, he will also help you cover insurance, vehicle inspection, driving license, and other required certifications so you can start operating.

Your uncle buys the car and hands it over to you. But then he refuses to follow through on the rest of the agreement, he won't pay for the insurance, inspection, driving license, or other certifications.

Now the car is sitting at home, unused and unable to earn money. As days pass, you technically default on the loan because you can't repay it without running the business.

You then approach a rich friend who offers to buy the car outright and pay off your uncle in full. But your uncle refuses the offer.

Instead, he sends auctioneers to repossess the car. You rush to court for help, but the court refuses to listen or assist you!

#########################

Now Here is The Case!

The case involving Raphael Tuju and the East African Development Bank (EADB) is a long-running debt dispute from a 2015 loan. It is not simply about failing to repay a loan. Tuju's company, Dari Limited, borrowed money from EADB to buy and develop prime properties in Karen, Nairobi. These include a 20-acre land called Entim Sidai (with plans for luxury bungalows) and a historic bungalow built by Scottish missionary Dr. Albert Patterson (now a high-end restaurant like Tamarind Karen and Dari Business Park).

Blow by Blow accounts!!!

1. How the bank handled the money for buying the property

The loan included funds to purchase the historic property from a Scottish family (linked to Dr. Albert Patterson's estate). Instead of giving the money directly to Tuju or his company, EADB paid the sellers directly. This is called direct disbursement.
- In practice, this gave the bank strong control over the deal right away. The property became security (collateral) for the loan immediately after payment.
- This is a standard banking practice in some secured loans to reduce risk, but it has been part of Tuju's arguments about the nature of the transaction.

2. The main loan problem and why the project stopped

The loan agreement covered both buying the land and funding construction/development (reportedly around Ksh 297 million or more for parts of the project, like building high-end bungalows).
- EADB provided funds for the land purchase but did not release the full amount needed for construction.
- The project stalled because of this lack of development funds. Tuju's side argues this made it impossible for them to complete the work, generate income, and repay the loan, a situation sometimes called a "breach" by the lender under contract law (where one party prevents the other from fulfilling their side).
- Courts (including in the UK and Kenya) have not accepted this as excusing the default, and ruled the debt must be repaid.

3. Attempt to pay off the loan early using another bank

When the project failed and the loan went into default, Tuju tried to settle the full debt. He arranged for KCB Bank to step in and pay off EADB completely (a "buyout" or redemption).
- EADB reportedly rejected this offer and did not provide a redemption statement (a document showing the exact amount owed to clear the loan).
- This refusal has been raised as evidence of unwillingness to accept repayment, though courts have allowed the bank to proceed with recovery instead…1/2

THIS IS HOW a good business relationship between the giant Kenya Breweries Ltd (KBL) and JILK Construction Company has mutated into two high voltage court cases.

2016 KBL decides to put up a modern, Ksh15billion brewery in Kisumu to produce cheaper alcoholic drinks. They contract JILK to do the job and sign three agreements -Joint Building Model Agreement - named Project Nafasi.

The project is supervised by Diageo PLC, a British multinational firm based in London, which is the majority shareholder in KBL and EABL. Along the way, many disputes arise and things fall apart.

February 15, 2020 JILK writes to AAK requesting for appointment of an arbitrator to determine the disputes

February 19, 2020 AAK appoints QS Mutinda Mutuku as the arbitrator and the proceedings begin with JILK making a claim of Ksh2.4 billion against KBL.

December 1, 2024 KBL files a petition at the High Court seeking to have the entire arbitration quashed. 𝗣𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗡𝗢. 𝗘𝟬𝟮𝟵 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰. They name the Arbitrator, JILK, AAK and DCI as respondents. Also names EABL bosses Jane Karuku and Eric Kiniti as Interested Parties.

December 5,2024 High Court suspends all the arbitration proceedings pending the hearing and determination of the Petition.

December 18, 2025, JILK learns through the newspapers that Diageo has sold its stake in the EABL to Asahi Group Holding of Japan and was planning to exit Kenya.

January 12, 2026, JILK writes to the Competition Authority Kenya (CAK) crying for their intervention in the matter to ensure justice was done before Diogeo PLC leaves Kenya.

January 27, 2026 JILK files its own suit at the High Court, (𝗖𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗟 𝗦𝗨𝗜𝗧 𝗡𝗢. 𝗘𝟬𝟯𝟮 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲) accusing Diageo and KBL/EABL of violating several laws during the contract period - including the sexual harassment of JILK female employees by Diageo manager. They name Diageo, KBL, EABL and CAK as respondents.

February 2, 2026 the law firm of Mohammed Muigai notifies parties that they have been instructed to represent EABL in the case. Meanwhile Diageo appoints the firm of Njoroge Regero to act for them in the case.

February 16, 2026 Diageo files an application to have the entire suit struck out on the ground that they were not party to the contract between KBL and JILK and had nothing to do with the arising disputes.

JILK maintains that though the contracts were between them and KBL, the work was supervised by Diageo PLC who were in full control of the project. They engaged consultants and other contractors, some foreigners, did all the procurement of materials and financial dealings.

February 16, 2026 presiding judge Njoki Mwangi recuses herself from hearing the case on ground that the firm of Njoroge Regeru are already representing her in another case. She directs that the matter be referred to the Head of Commercial Division for directions.

February 17, 2026 JILK files an application to have the law firm of Mohammed Muigai stopped from representing EABL on ground that back in 2020 they (JILK) had hired the same firm to represent them in the arbitration against KBL.

February 18, 2026 the case is mentioned before Head of Commercial Division Justice Francis Gikonyo. Meanwhile, JILK has brought in lawyer Nelson Havi to back up Kibe Mungai in the legal team. Havi informs the court that the case raises weighty issues and should be expedited.

Justice Gikonyo directed that responses to all the applications be filed and served within three days. The case will be mentioned before him again on February 24, 2026.
