What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Nairobi County executive is facing potential arrest and imprisonment after missing a Sh36.7 million payment deadline related to a Sh106.7 million legal fees dispute. The high court had previously approved a settlement in July, which suspended a committal order. Lawyers for the executive have warned that failure to honor the installment agreement triggers the automatic lapse of the stay, allowing authorities to pursue debt recovery and imprisonment.
