Kenya Power to pay farmer nearly Sh20m in sugar cane fire suit
Wednesday May 05 2021
Summary
Justice Fred Ochieng said although Harjeet Pandhal Singh & Sons Limited did not table actual records from Chemelil Sugar Company to prove that he was a large-scale farmer as claimed, Kenya Power could not be absolved from the obligation to pay damages.
Kenya Power had denied causing the fires but suggested that the farms were burnt by wild fires, whose causes were unknown.
Kenya Power #ticker:KPLC will pay a Muhoroni farmer close to Sh20 million after a fire caused by sparks emanating from loose electricity cables razed his sugar cane plantation six years ago.

Kahumbu s Ksh228 Million Karen Home to be Auctioned

Paula Kahumbu s hopes of keeping their Karen home crushed after the court ruled in favour of a bank seeking to auction the vast property.
The award-winning conservationist s family has been in a 34 year back and forth court battle with the National Bank of Kenya, as the lender sought to recover a Ksh228 million loan owed to them by the family.
Kahumbu and her brother Dominic have had to battle in court to save the home they inherited from their parents.
NBK issued a loan to John Francis Kahumbu s company, Schemes Limited in 1984, and the house located in Mwitu Estate, Karen, was used as security for the loan, which has since grown annually due to interests accrued.
