Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has been sued by a Diplomat for failing to pay over sh7 million loan advanced to him.

The Diplomat through his lawyer Daniel Achach claims the MP who borrowed him the money on diverse dates between Janaury 2022 and September 2022 has declined to honor to the agreement they of paying the loan advanced to him.

According to the Diplomat, he first met the MP sometime in June 2021 together with other Members of Parliament who had paid an official visit to IGAD offices in Djibouti.

Thereafter they became friends, exchanged contacts and kept talking thereafter.

The MP during the electioneering Period approached him requesting for soft loans of different amounts saying that he was campaigning to regain his National Assembly seat in the general elections slated later that year but he was unable to raise enough funds through donations and fundraisers, hence needed a refundable soft loan.

The Diplomat claims that it was their understanding that upon winning the elections and being sworn in, the lawmaker would pay the all the soft loans advanced in one instalment.

“In the alternative, the Defendant expressed to the Plaintiff that should he not win in the elections, he would give the Plaintiff a payment proposal that would be acceptable, but the Defendant was almost very sure of a win with the Plaintiffs soft loan,” reads court papers

He says  despite meeting his part of the agreement, the Mp has allegedly failed to repay the soft loans he advanced to him.

“I continue to suffer loss and damages….I have made several attempts to reach out to the Defendant for the payment but the Defendant became evasive, slippery and also  for a long period of time and when I finally did, he became abusive and threatening to me,” he says in court documents.
