October 9, 2017 - A court has declared Cyrus Shakhalaga okhwa Jirongo, a former presidential candidate and Member of Parliament for Lugaris, bankrupt.
According to a ruling by Justice Olga Sewe of the commercial division, Hon. Jirongo had failed to repay a loan of approximately 700M shillings to Sammy Kogo, a Nairobi businessman.
The loan was secured from National Bank of Kenya using Mr. Kogo's properties as collateral, and Hon. Jirongo has been given 180 days to settle the debt.
As a result, the judge has directed that a receiver be appointed to manage Hon. Jirongo's properties.
