The high court has issued an order stopping the implementation of consent orders that directed the Manager, United Bank of Africa Westlands Branch to transfer Sh 74 million as legal fees to two law firms from Stayonline Kenya account.

Justice Alfred Mabeya issued the temporary orders pending the hearing of an application filed by Rwandese investor Desire Muhinyuza challenging the said consent.

Desire through lawyer Danstan Omari accused businessman Kirimi Koome through two of his advocates of fraudulently obtaining the said consent to transfer the said monies.

According to the Rwandese Investor, the consent was stage managed by lawyers Omwanza Nyamweya and Ivy Ateko Ingati alongside Raphael Olwako on behalf of Stayonline.

“ The move was all a scheme to unlawfully withdraw the money held by the company in the guise of legal fees,” he argued court documents.

Desire argued that the two lawyers failed to disclose to court that there were proceedings active in court on the ownership dispute between Desire and Koome.

The court has since ruled that the Rwandese Investor is the beneficial owner of the disputed sh 400 million tech company

Justice Alfred Mabeya ruled that the Rwandese National was the one who initiated and caused the registration of the company that sells merchandise online and financed its establishment and operations and that businessman Kirimi Koome who also claimed to own the company, committed fraud for not filling forms for beneficial ownership properly.
