Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju on Thursday will know if he will be punished for defying a court order that compelled him to grant access to two receiver managers to his Karen property over a Sh1.5 billion defaulted loan. The bank wants Tuju and his three children committed to civil jail or be fined for failing to grant access to the managers. Lawyer Fed Ojiambo on Monda told the court that it’s clear Tuju has never complied with any court order and the same should be acted on. But Tuju, through lawyer Paul Nyamodi and Paul Muite, said he was denied his constitutional right to be heard over the alleged disobedience of court orders. The court heard that the bank is fully secured by two properties in Upperhill and Karen, hence its conduct to enforce the court orders is concerning.
