The family of one of Kenya’s wealthiest colonial-era settlers risks losing a huge chunk of the prime land it owns in Nakuru after it got entangled in a friend’s fight with a bank over an unpaid loan.
Hugh Cholmondeley, the fifth Lord Delamere, got into trouble after he loaned his friend Kenneth Patrick Dawson’s company, Ceres Estates Limited, £60,000 (Sh8.2 million) that later got him listed as a director of the firm.
