Auctioneers Pursue Senator Karen Nyamu Over Ksh 1.25 Million Rent
Auctioneers, with police assistance, are set to access the home of nominated Senator Karen Nyamu in Runda’s Graceville Villas to attach household items over alleged rent arrears totalling Ksh 1.25 million.
A Nairobi court, through Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate A.H. Nyoike, directed the Runda Police Commander to ensure the auctioneers can enforce the court order issued on November 11, 2024.
Senator Nyamu has dismissed the claims as malicious, stating she had an agreement with the landlord to purchase the house, with part of her deposit converted as payment for the property.
She has vowed to challenge the decision.
Court documents show that the landlord, James Gichuru Kirubi, first sought an attachment order last year over arrears then amounting to Ksh 385,000.
Runda Police Commander Rose Ndolo confirmed receiving the court order and has requested personnel to ensure law and order during the attachment process.
Karen Nyamu and Samidoh separated 8 months ago. Samidoh stopped paying rent for her and opted to reunite with his wife,he only pays school fees for his children.
Karen earns a monthly salary of Ksh1.2 million. Initially,she was staying in Syokimau before relocating to Runda.
