Co-operative Bank of Kenya has gone to court seeking an injunction restraining its landlord, a wealthy Mombasa-based family, from evicting the lender from its Mtwapa branch.
In a suit filed at the Environment and Land Court in Mombasa, the bank says from November 2007 it has been a tenant of Mombasa Maize Millers Ltd, which is associated with the family of Mombasa millionaire Mohammed Islam Ali.
