Former Nairobi county chief finance officer Jimmy Kiamba has successfully argued for the reduction of the cash he is supposed to forfeit to the State, which the High Court had found in 2018 to be unexplained wealth. Mr Kiamba and his spouse Tracy Mbinya convinced the Court of Appeal that the High Court had included their Sh168.7 million rental and business earnings in the Sh282.6 million he was directed to forfeit to the State. While adding to the list of the properties to be forfeited, the three judges wondered how Mr Kiamba could acquire several high-end properties between 2009 and 2013. The court stated that there was insufficient evidence to support claims that the former city county official could purchase three apartments on Pritt Lane. Mr Kiamba also acquired an apartment named Skyrock for Sh25 million on August 17, 2012.
