Allen Gichuhi SC successfully litigated the case against National Bank when it undervalued and sold assets of Basil Criticos. He got NBK to pay back Kshs. 2.2 billion in damages. Allen has summarized the principles arising from the case as follows: 1. The equity of redemption and the limitation of liability under a guarantee are vital factors to be considered by a chargee when exercising its statutory power of sale. The Constitution has by virtue of article 10(2) (b) elevated equity as a principle of justice to a constitutional principle and required the Courts in exercising judicial authority to protect and promote that principle, amongst others- per the Court of Appeal judgment in Willy Kimutai Kitilit v Michael Kibet [2018] eKLR. 2. A chargee relying on a defective and flawed valuation report will invite the rebuttal presumption that it has breached the statutory duty imposed by Section 97(1) of the Land Act which imposed a mandatory duty to obtain the best price reasonably obtainable at the time of sale failing which damages will be awarded if the sale was unauthorized, improper or irregular under Section 99(4) of the Land Act. 3. Failure to produce an alternative valuation report in rebuttal is fatal to a chargee’s defence when faced with a claim for damages. 4. Courts must be vigilant to ensure that justice is done and not simply dismiss a case after trial without giving due consideration to the legal issues. In summary what Allen is saying is that, when a bank has sold your property below market price and has not given you an opportunity to redeem the property-you can't get the property back but you can sue the bank for damages. The law protects you. To succeed in such litigation you need the following: (a) Your own valuation of the charged property. (b) Evidence that you tried to redeem the property in vain (c) Get a lawyer who knows how to draft good pleadings. Please do not conclusively consult a paralegal or an untrained but argumentative social media personality. It takes legal training at university, further exposure at Kenya School of Law, pupillage learning, and additional work experience- to perforce identify cogent legal issues out of a dispute, craft a suitable legal strategy, draft impregnable pleadings, and attend court to prosecute the claim.

The Clean Hands Doctrine isn't about having a blameless life; it's about acting fairly, avoiding misconduct. Parties seeking court’s intervention MUST have acted ethically in the matter. Where full disclosure is absent, courts will presume unclean hands. Regardless of the merits

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

@Disembe Njagi only said that when they left, the MCA was STILL THERE. A body was found which was believed to be his. Two independent DNA tests later determined that the body was not that of the MCA. Where did Njagi lie?

Those of us who know Bob Njagi in person kept wondering how a whole media house passed his outlandish claims as gospel truth. The most abused platform today is the mainstream media platform where fake news, misinformation and disinformation now pass as credible news.

@FBI : Scammers exploit mass casualty events/disasters, such as the New Year's Day terrorist attack in New Orleans & the ongoing wildfires in L.A, to commit fraud by soliciting fake charitable donations to support victims; they may pose as disaster relief agencies...
