Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo risks having his property attached over a Sh60 million debt owed to a businessman. Jirongo also risks being arrested if he fails to show up in court on February 2 to be cross-examined on how he plans to repay the debt. He was expected in court on December 15 and when he did not turn up presiding judge Kanyi Kimondo gave him one last chance after which he would be forced to issue a warrant for his arrest. “Rules are clearly tightening on your client. He is very lucky to have escaped the warrant of arrest this time,” the judge had told his lawyer.
The lawyer representing businessman Shamsudin Nurani had been pressurising the court to issue an arrest warrant. The dispute goes back 16 years when a company associated with Jirongo Cypper Enterprises (now in receivership) borrowed money from Nurani, now deceased. A judgment was entered against him and another company associated with Jirongo (Dale Investments) was used to secure the loan of Sh45 million.
