Reprieve for family of Moi-era PS Oyugi in Sh400m property dispute

Appeal continues to determine if the 1998 transfer was valid...

✨ Key Highlights

The Court of Appeal has offered a reprieve to the family of former Internal Security Permanent Secretary Hezekiah Oyugi in a dispute over a Sh400 million property in Nairobi's Lavington Estate. The court restrained the current owner, Ms. Timdar Said Sherman, from selling or transferring the property pending the outcome of an appeal filed by Oyugi's sons.
