Cytonn Investments Chief Executive Edwin Dande
Last month, Cytonn Investments sued John Matheka – one of its investors – claiming Sh17 million for defamation after serving him a cease and desist notice.
While the investment firm argued the move was to protect its brand from harm, going after one of its clients highlighted the souring relations between the firm and investors over the past year.
This is after the firm invoked a force majeure extending the maturity date of two of its real estate funds – the Cytonn High Yield Solutions (CHYS) and the Cytonn Project Notes – to June this year.

Three brothers have sued Cytonn Investment Limited for allegedly refusing to refund their Sh46 million.
Charles Nzioki Kanyaa, Harrison Kaloki Kanyaa and Robert Munyao Kanyaa claimed they invested the money in Cytonn’s Real Estate projects with a promise that they would get a handsome reward for their investment, but the company has refused to pay them back.
Through lawyer Kioko Kilukumi, the siblings want the court to order Cytonn Real Estate Project Notes, Cytonn High Yield Solutions and Cytonn Investments Management to refund them Sh46,792,603 and the interest the money has accrued from the time of deposit.
