President William Ruto's senior advisor Moses Kuria has suffered a setback after the High Court on Monday declined his request to halt the auction of two prime properties over a Sh50 million unpaid loan.

Justice Aleem Visram rejected Kuria's urgent application to stop the sale of two apartment blocks in Ruaka and Juja, Kiambu County, scheduled for April 8, 2025 (today), pending the hearing of his petition. "I find the applicant (Kuria) has not met the threshold for a grant of an injunction pending the hearing and determination of both the present application and the main suit," Justice Visram ruled.

Kuria secured a Sh50 million loan from Equity Bank in December 2017 to construct five-storey rental blocks in Ruaka and Juja.

The court documents reveal that the properties were offered as collateral for the loan, with legal charges registered against their titles.
