Kilonzo and Company Advocates, a law firm owned by the late Senator Mutula Kilonzo’s children, Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jnr and Kethi Kilonzo, has submitted a bill worth Sh69.7 million to the High Court.
The bill is for defending former President Daniel Moi in a long-standing case brought against him by media mogul S.K. Macharia. The lawsuit asserts that a series of lenders, as well as Moi and Cabinet Minister Joseph Arap Letting, violated Macharia’s rights and profited unjustly through financial coercion. The law firm’s lawyer liaised with the court 21 times, between February 2004 to November 2022.
Standing accused is Moi’s estate which is represented by Senior Counsel Zehrabanu Janmohammed in a case claiming that in 1981, Madhupaper International, Macharia’s firm, acquired a loan of Sh50 million from three entities to build a factory dedicated to tissue paper production using recycled paper as raw material. According to reports, the lending institutions held the right to take possession of all the assets of the paper company as collateral assurance for the funding.
Madhupaper was put under receivership in 1989 by the Kenya National Capital Corporation to recover the loan. In 2003, High Court judge Richard Kuloba ruled in favour of Mr Macharia, saying that the lenders had used undue pressure and economic coercion on him and his company to overpay a loan by more than Sh56 million. However, the Court of Appeal overturned the decision in 2008, claiming that there was no evidence of coercion or duress.
In 2013, Mr Macharia sought compensation through the Supreme Court but his case was rejected. He had entered an agreement with Standard Chartered to gather funds from other sources on his behalf and had reported to the Bank Fraud Investigation department in 2000 that they had not credited his account with Sh55 million.
Kwanini tungali tukifuata…
Kwanini tungali tukifuata taratibu za sheria ya Uingereza kana kwamba tungali watumwa au mahabusu wa sera zao na sheria zao mbovu!
Ili kujikomboa na utumwa wa Waimgerza nchini mwetu, ni lazima tuanze mara moja:
1. Kutumia lugha ya Kiswahili kwenye mikutano yote ya hadharani, bungeni na ofisini.
2. Kutumia jina au majina yetu ya asili na kuachana na majina yote yanayotokana na Bibilia, Qurani, au majina ya Waingereza.
3. Ni lazima tutupilie mbali imani zote za kigeni.
4. Ni lazima tuache kabisa kuiga (imitate) mila zote za kigeni na kuchukua zile zilizo nzuri kama kukomesha mambo ya rushwa kila mahali nchini.
Kama Hayati Kambarage Borito Nyerere alivyosema, “It can be done, play your part.”

Tell Mutula to go talk to…
Tell Mutula to go talk to Moi in the grave! This greed for money is too much!
If the estate owes the money…
If the estate owes the money then they should pay up. His death shouldn’t matter at all.
It seems you have been…
It seems you have been volunteering your whole life to become who you are…if not shut it, if they deserve the pay ni kazi yao sio yako. Moi, Kenyatta and their people amassed illegally public wealth to their portfolios.
