On July 24, 2019, a Nairobi court ordered former Nairobi Finance minister Jimmy Kiamba to pay the government a total of over Ksh. 317 million or forfeit his Runda house to the State.
The decision was reached after the Anti-Corruption court ruled that Kiamba is in possession of unexplained assets.
Justice Hedwig Ogundi ruled that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Court (EACC) had established a case against Kiamba.
According to the judgment, Kiamba will pay the government Ksh.35 million and another Ksh.282,648,604 million or lose the property situated in Runda Water Estate.
Investigating Officer James Kariuki testified that Kiamba used a driver attached to him as well as a security guard to make questionable deposits into his bank account.
‘I therefore declare that the total sum of the money indicated to be unexplained assets,’ ruled Justice Hedwig Ogundi.
