The High Court in Kiambu has issued temporary orders restraining Equity Bank from auctioning two prime properties belonging to President William Ruto's adviser, Moses Kuria, over a Sh50 million unpaid loan.

Justice Jacqueline Mogeni issued the order following an objection filed by Kuria's wife, Joyce Njambi, halting any dealings with the properties until April 30, 2025, when the matter will be heard. "Meanwhile, there shall be no dealing of any manner with the suit property pending the hearing of this application on April 30, 2025," ruled Justice Mogeni.

The judge also directed Njambi to serve Equity Bank with her application within three days.

Further, the bank has been ordered to file its responses and submissions within three days before the scheduled hearing.
