Details of the Dispute
Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu is back in the headlines over alleged rent arrears amounting to Sh1.25 million. Court documents reveal that auctioneers, supported by police officers, have been authorized to enter her Runda home to seize property for sale to recover the debt.
The directive came from Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate A.H. Nyoike, who ordered Runda police to provide security during the operation. The police team will ensure the process proceeds without disruption.
However, Nyamu has called the allegations “malicious,” arguing that her rent deposit had been allocated toward a house purchase agreement with the landlord. She described the action plan as “shocking” and vowed to challenge it legally.
Nyamu dismissed the accusations, stating, “Whatever the auctioneer is doing is wrong. I will be heading to court.” She maintains that she has a valid legal basis for her position.
According to landlord James Gichuru Kirubi, the rent issue dates back to November 2023, when Nyamu allegedly owed Sh385,000. The arrears have since escalated, prompting the latest court action.
