Furious Ekeza Sacco Members Attack Bishop David Gakuyo's Lawyer Outside Nairobi Court

Drama ensued at the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi on Thursday after irate Ekeza Sacco members attacked one of the lawyers representing televangelist David Kariuki Ngare, alias Gakuyo.

The disgruntled members accused lawyer Samuel Mburu of ridiculing them in his response to their submission in court.

Citizen Digital reports that the angry members pounced on Mburu outside the court building, tearing his shirt and suit before security guards came to his rescue.

This came after confusion in court over who between lawyer Mburu and Duncan Okachi was the real Ekeza Sacco's lawyer.

Each of the two claims to have received instructions to represent the society in court but had different stands on the matter before the court.

While Mburu says he has no problem with the court order that halted the takeover of the Sacco by new management, lawyer Okachi wants the order vacated.

The judge has directed the application seeking to have the order vacated be filed formally ahead of mentioning next week.

Last week, the court temporarily barred the Commissioner of Co-operative Development from installing new management Committee at Ekeza Sacco.

The Commissioner was further barred from removing from office the current management committee of Ezeka Sacco led by Bishop Gakuyo.

The court issued the order after 11 Sacco members filed a petition seeking to stop the Commissioner from interfering with the management of the Sacco.

@Kenya: Dawa ya matapeli na pia majambazi kama Gakuyo si kumpiga wakili wake, dawa iliyo nzuri ni kuchukua kila kitu ambacho yuko nacho ili majambazi na matapeli wengine wanaofikiria kufanya hivyo kwenye siku za usoni (in future) wasithubutu (dare) kufanya hivyo.

I wish wananchi applied the same tenacity,fortitude and drive to demand the return of public wealth stolen from tax payers. The power is with the people.Its time we took matters into our own hands since justice seems to be blind and not impartial, to say the least.
We dont have to hang the thieves though that would be nice, but haunt then day and night till they wish they were dead.

Ni matungu yalioje kumuona mtumishi wa Mungu akiwahadaa na kuwapora wafuasi wake ambao wengi wao ni walala hoi? Bishop David Ngare au Gakuyo, akiwa na wengineo kama vile Kiunas, Kanyari, Kariuki, Ng'ang'a, Prof. DR Rev Pastor Prophet Wanjiru, Owuor, nk, wanaelekea patupu baada ya kuttumia Kitabu Kitakatifu kuwafumbaza, kuwadumaza, kuwahanganya, kuwapofusha, kuwahadaa, kuwachovyo chovyo, na kuwapumbaza wafuasi wao akili wakiwa na nia ya kufuja na kutwali mali yao. Ni jambo ya kushangasha na kughadhabisha tunapowaona wajiitao waeneza injili wakitumia vibaya mamlaka yao kujitajirisha na kujitakia makuu wakati wafuasi wao wanajibidiisha kwa kufanya biashara na kazi hohehahe mradi tu wajikimu. Latazamia kukosolewa nisemapo kuwa sisi wote Wakenya tu wezi, wengi wetu wakiwa ni wezi wa kupindukia iwe ni mali ya umma, mali ya wahujaji au yale ya kibinafsi. Askofu Ngare alitumia ujanja wake, michango ya wawekezaji kuzurura duniani kote, hasa Marekani, huku akitumia sauti yake ya umalaika katika runinga ya Jambo Radio Network kuwaduwaza wasikilizaji wake. Anachokitaka sasa ni akubalishwe na korti auze mali anayodai ni yake kisha atokomee kwa kuyaficha mali hayo kwa wanawe, jamaa na marafiki zake. Hata hivyo serikali hayamtazama akijinufaisha na mali ya wanyonge ambao nia yao njema ya kumwamini askofu imewaacha katika hali ya umaskini na kudhoofika. Matumaini yangu ni kwamba siku ya kiama kwa mwizi huyu imebisha hodi, na laana za Mwenyezi Mungu tamfata yeye na vizazi vyake hadi elfu lela ulela.
