Former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has asked the court not to allow President Uhuru Kenyatta’s nephew and Personal Assistant Jomo Gecaga to use Covid-19 as an excuse to avoid paying rent in his apartment. Tenants at the property pay a monthly rent of Sh540,000, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, JSTA had asked Gem to reduce that figure to Sh250,000. However, On September 11, the older Gecaga requested Kidero to extend the offer for paying half rent to December, but Kidero, through Geminvest Limited, turned down the request. “Geminvest Limited will not accept payment of Sh250,000 only as monthly rent. Further, the Gecagas have been accused of refusing to sign the new lease agreement which, according to Geminvest limited, lapsed in March 2016.
