Kaluma Wins Big as Court Clears Auction of Standard Group Property

The High Court in Nairobi has issued a warrant authorizing the attachment and possible sale of movable property belonging to The Standard Group Limited and three other defendants in a bid to recover a court-awarded debt exceeding Ksh11.4 million.

According to a court document titled “Warrant of Attachment of Movable Property in Execution of Decree for Money,” the order arises from Civil Suit No. 235 of 2018 filed by George Peter Kaluma.

The warrant directs licensed auctioneers, Garam Auctioneers, to seize assets from the judgment debtors should they fail to settle the outstanding amount.

The document shows that the initial decretal sum stood at Ksh 11 million following a judgment delivered on Nov. 13, 2025.

However, with accrued interest calculated from the date of judgment to Feb. 11, 2026, alongside additional costs, the total amount due has risen to Ksh 11,447,536.

“The sum now due and payable in respect of the said decree is Kenya shillings 11,447,536,” the document states, further instructing auctioneers “to attach the movable property of the said judgment debtor.”

The defendants listed in the case include The Standard Group Limited as the first defendant, alongside John Odindo, Charles Otieno and Caroline Kimutai as co-defendants.

The warrant further directs that the attached property be held and, if necessary, sold to recover the decretal amount, including costs associated with the attachment process, unless payment is made in full.

The court also authorized the recovery of additional expenses such as court collection fees and further costs incurred during enforcement.

The document bears an official stamp indicating receipt by Garam Investments Auctioneers on February 2, 2026, signaling the commencement of enforcement proceedings.

The issuance of the warrant marks a significant escalation in the case, transitioning from judgment to execution after the defendants failed to comply with the court’s directive to settle the debt.

Under Kenyan law, a warrant of attachment empowers auctioneers to identify, seize and auction movable assets belonging to a debtor to satisfy a court decree. The process typically proceeds unless the debtor clears the outstanding amount or successfully challenges the execution in court.

Efforts to recover the funds are now expected to continue under the supervision of the court, with the possibility of asset sales looming if the debt remains unpaid.
