Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju has suffered a blow after the Supreme Court cleared the way for a regional lender to auction his prime properties in Karen, over a debt of Sh4.5 billion arising from a botched loan deal.

A bench of five judges of the apex court disqualified themselves from the case and reinstated a decision of the Court of Appeal issued in April last year, dismissing Mr Tuju’s appeal challenging the enforcement decision in favour of East African Development Bank (EADB).
