This comes even as auction notices continue to fill the pages of local dailies as the economy continues to suffer in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the Monday edition of Daily Nation, six pages were filled with auction notices of property ranging from low-income rental units to high-end mansions in Karen.

Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke at the beginning of the year, economist Sam Okumu had warned that the economic situation in Kenya was poised to worsen over the pandemic.

He further noted that there was a spike in the auction of people's properties because businesses were not realising as much profit as they used to before, thereby causing businesses and entrepreneurs to default on existing loans.
