CS and MP embroiled in tussle over Karen home

The first-time MP has accused the CS of forcibly occupying the house he is selling at Amara Ridge after expressing interest in the house.

The MP said the CS is yet to sign a sale agreement or make payment and is using police officers to frustrate his efforts to move her from the house for renovations.

There was a fracas at the home on Friday as police whisked away a man by the name Kariuki, who said the MP had contracted him to do repairs at the home before a new owner takes possession of the house. 

The house owner, Mary Mureu, said the CS made an offer of Ksh90 million for the house, but she and her husband said the final asking price was Ksh120 million.

"Thereafter, I travelled to the US for my daughter's graduation and when I came back on Wednesday, I brought my people to clean the house and mow the lawn.. and to my shock, I found the house open," she said.
