To enforce the decision, the Bank moved to the High Court for recognition of the judgment. Mr Tuju claimed bias arguing that Michael Sullivan, who represented the bank, and Justice Toledano, who presided over the matter, shared a chamber. Mr Tuju then moved to the Supreme Court and temporarily suspended the seizure, pending the determination of his application at the apex court. “Having failed to disburse the balance of $102, 916 (then Sh10.4 million) and further Sh294 million, the first defendant inevitably experienced cash flow challenges,” said Mr Tuju. As the matter was pending at the Supreme Court, Mr Tuju headed back to the High Court saying he was ready to pay the debt.
