Jubilee Party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju and his three children are staring at jail terms following the court's latest orders.
A report by Business Daily on Friday, July 31, indicated that High Court Judge Mary Kasango ordered the four to appear in court on September 21, 2020, to explain why they should not be put behind bars.
This was after they were accused of disobeying court orders and blocking two receiver managers from a bank they owe Ksh1.6 billion in defaulted loans from taking over Dari Limited, a company owned by Tuju.
It was also revealed that the four were guarantors of the company at the time the company borrowed a loan from East African Development Bank.
The bank had argued that the CS and his children disobeyed a court order and they should be punished for contempt.
The judge, in her ruling, insisted that the two receiver managers, Muniu Thoithi and George Waweru, be given access to the company to run it.
In his defence, Tuju, through lawyer Paul Muite, argued that he had been denied a chance to be heard before the receivership orders were made.
That was after the CS deposited Ksh50 million into a joint account as a condition of preventing the bank from auctioning his company.
On March 3, Justice Grace Nzioka read out a ruling that allowed EADB's appointed receivers to take over the management of a 20-acre piece of prime land in Karen and the luxurious Dari Restaurant.
Both the entities had been used by Tuju as security when he undertook the loan.
The case stems from a loan of Ksh933 million that Dari Limited (Tuju's company) had secured from EADB which later accrued an interest exceeding Ksh600 million.
