Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communications and the Digital Economy (MICDE) William Kabogo is embroiled in a legal dispute with his uncle, Kimani Kabogo, over land ownership valued at Ksh 380 million.
The conflict centers on allegations of fraud and breach of trust, which Kimani claims to have discovered in 2006, leading him to file a lawsuit in 2017 seeking damages.
Initially, the High Court dismissed the case, citing the statute of limitations under the Limitation of Actions Act.
However, the Court of Appeal has overturned this decision, ruling that the High Court erred in its judgment and directing that the case be heard afresh by a different judge.
Kabogo denies the allegations, maintaining that the properties in question were lawfully acquired through a private treaty with NIC Bank, following the bank’s sale to recover a loan owed by Kenya Modern Digitals Ltd, guaranteed by Kimani.
The appellate court’s decision paves the way for a renewed examination of the dispute in the High Court.
