Former Ol Kalou MP Erastus Mureithi is set to lose almost all properties registered under his name over a Sh1.6 billion unpaid loan.
This comes after Keysian Auctioneers put on sale thirty four parcels of land belonging to Mureithi for failing to service a Sh1.6 billion loan taken from a Nairobi bourse listed lender.
The property to be auctioned on December 5th include pieces of land near the Kenya Institute of Highways and Building Technology in Ngong, Business Daily reports.
“They (plots) are situated in Kibiko area of Kajiado County about 3.5kms north-west of Ngong town and a kilometre off the Ngong-Kimuka road,” reads the auction notice by Keysian Auctioneers.
The plots are registered under Suera Flowers, a rose flower company ran by Mureithi and his wife Susan.
Last month, a rival firm, Subati Group, purchased six pieces of land from Suera Flowers, in Nyandarua County for an undisclosed amount. The sale is part of assets disposal aimed at serving the loan.
Other properties set to be sold include residential houses, office blocks and greenhouses with horticultural crops.
His residential flats comprising of eight four-bedroom apartments in Nairobi’s Karen estate are set to be auctioned at Sh960 million while a 89-acre prime land located on the Nyahururu-Ol Kalou Road is expected to fetch Sh393 million.

And yet their cry is caused by foolishness and entitlement. Their cry is not as painful as the poor Wanjiku who struggles to place food on the table. Once he shrinks down that big tumbo he will be able to know his way forward.

Something is very wrong with us Kenyans. Where did all this greed phenomena come from? Thousands and thousands of billionaires but no satisfaction. Corruption has become a way of life. How does one legitimately end up owning over 35 parcels of land and yet become broke. A country where a siting governor is able to siphon billions of public funds for his personal use and no one raise the alarm until it is too late. What happened to our society whereby corruption is tolerated. It is no secret the quickest way to richness is thru a public gig where all sorts of corruption are at your disposal. The country is infected with corruption.
