Moi may oppose withdrawal of suit against lawyer in USIU land row

By VINCENT AGOYA

Former president Daniel arap Moi may oppose the withdrawal of a suit against a lawyer who claims he saw him sign a controversial land transaction that has evolved into a protracted dispute in which he appears to have sold the same property to two different buyers, a trial court was told Tuesday.

Mr Moi’s lawyer, Fred Ngatia, who was not in court but sent a representative, says he may want to personally comment on the withdrawal of the suit that named lawyer Paul Ndung’u and the firm, Ndung’u Njoroge and Kwach Advocates, as respondents .

Then a lawyer at Hamilton, Harrison and Mathews, Mr Ndung’u stated that he witnessed Mr Moi’s signature in the sale of the property to DPS International on November 10, 1988, while he was still president.

READ: Lawyer says Moi signed USIU land transfer documents

On Tuesday, the presiding judge, ruled that the suit was marked withdrawn since the civil procedures rules allows the plaintiff to hold sway, meaning Mr Moi cannot stop the withdrawal of the suit against Mr Ndung’u.

The suit against Mr Ndung’u was lodged by Dr George Kiongera who first stated he bought the land from Mr Moi at Sh500 million before Equity Bank CEO made the same claims, saying he bought the plot from the former head of State for Sh300 million.

Dr Kiongera’s lawyer, Dancun Okatch, confirmed in court that the suit has since been withdrawn after consultations with the parties involved.

The judge ruled that the withdrawal would not prejudice any party in the proceedings, but allowed Mr Moi to lodge a formal application to oppose the withdrawal if he so wishes.

It was agreed that the motion to oppose the inclusion of Mr Ndung’u and the firm in the proceedings “was technically spent” as it has since been withdrawn by its author, Dr Kiongera.

Not a party to suit

Senior counsel Paul Muite who is representing Mr Ndung’u said that Mr Moi was not a party to the suit concerning his client.

“This particular suit does not concern the former president and Mr Okatch has confirmed that as far as his client is concerned there is no dispute,” Mr Muite said.

Mr Ngatia’s representative said the complexity of issues in the case warrants “his personal presence in court so as to make comments on what he intends to do about the withdrawal.”

The senior lawyer was said to be held at the Supreme Court and had requested a further mention when he can be present.

At the same time a lawyer who was adversely mentioned in the transaction involving Dr Mwangi has applied to be enjoined in the proceedings as an interested party.

Lawyer Katwa Kigen will be representing Mr Samson Omwansa Ombati and Mr Andrew Sunkuli who are said to have been involved in the controversial transaction involving Mr Moi and the Equity Bank boss.

The twists in the case seem far from over, especially now that USIU which is also claiming ownership of the plot has applied “to amend its plaint.”

The university is the third claimant having stated it bought it from an insurance company, which had bought it from the DPS International.

DPS sold the property to the Insurance Company of East Africa (ICEA), which subsequently sold it to the United States International University-Africa (USIU-A).

The case will be mentioned on January 18, 2017 for further directions.
