Labour CS Florence Bore speaks on Karen House Saga.
The Labour CS Florence Bore has broken silence over the viral Media reports on the purchase of Karen Home which belongs to Hon. Edward Muiruri.
She says they entered into agreement with the owner and agreed on purchasing price.
“My attention is drawn to the viral media reports on the sale and purchase a transaction of a house in Karen between myself and a Company associated with Hon. Edward Muriu.
“I entered into an agreement to purchase the property at a negotiated and agreed purchase price. Resultantly, I signed my part of the agreement for sale and transmitted the agreement through my lawyers to the vendor’s lawyers for signing on their part.” Said Florence Bore.
She continued: “Their lawyers, Muriu Mungai & Company (MMC Asafo), acknowledged receipt of the signed agreenment for sale by stamping on the forwarding letter by my Advocates.
“In compliance with the respective clauses of the agreement, I sourced a 10 percent deposit from my Sacco and paid directly to the Vendor’s lawyers account via RTGS. It was a term in the agreement for sale that the completion period of the transaction was 90 days from the date of signing the agreement.
Florence say Muiruri agreed that she take occupation of the house while she retreated to seek a mortgage facility for the balance, which she noted that she legitimately expected to obtain within the agreed transaction period of 90 days.
“Unfortunately, in an astounding weave of events, in less than 30 days of the agreement, Hon. Edward Muriu and his Wife attempted to unlawfully evict my children from the house while I was out of the Country.
“They were accompanied by armed goons necessitating the need for police presence in the premises. For a colleague in leadership to take advantage of my absence from the country to run a hate campaign instead of waiting to engage me upon return is not only queer but baffling.
Florence termed the claims by Muiruri as dramatising and sensational which are fabricated because he has found a “better deal”.
“The dramatized and sensational allegations are fabricated to unlawfully dissociate from the agreement ostensibly because they have found a “better deal”.
“The transaction was a private engagement between a willing seller and a willing buyer, both parties duly represented by lawyers in total conformity with the law.
“The media pitch was therefore unwarranted and ancillary to the transaction.” She said.
