Former Presidential candidate Cyrus Jirongo is to be arrested over failure to pay a debt of Sh 25 million owed to businessman Bryan Yongo.
Deputy Registrar of the high court Elizabeth Tanui issued the warrant of arrest dated 6 August 2018 and ordered OCS Muthangari police station to execute the same with speed.
In a letter addressed to the O.C.S Muthangari by Deputy Registrar, the police have been commanded to arrest the former legislator.
The ruling said that, notice to show cause has been in place for same time, since Jirongo made proposal to decree holder ( Yongo) to settle the debt and has not honoured either.
” Its time since the court stamped its authority by issuing warrant of arrest against Jirongo who has been evasive to court orders” she said.
The court said that Jirongo has refused to appear in court to explain reasons why he issued bad cheques to the decree holder.
The amount remains unpaid since the time when the plaintiff obtained judgement against him, the case was filed in 2015.
Mrs Tanui noted that unless same sh 20 million as noted in the margins in the decree, the debtor should be arrested at convenient speed and brought to court to show why he should not be committed to civil jail.
The court noted that executing officers should be entitled to 2/3 class bus or taxi plus out-of pocket expenses on production of original vouchers.
It is also said he owes veteran FKF chairman Sam Nyamweha over 40 million.
