Jeff Koinange’s Sh200 Million Villas Put Up for Auction

Kenyan media personality Jeff Koinange is on the verge of losing two expensive houses in Nairobi after they were put up for auction over a bank debt amounting to Sh130 million.
The two four-bedroom villas stand on a 0.67-acre parcel of land in the high-end Kitisuru suburb, each attached with a servant’s quarter, Business Daily reports.
An advert published in local newspapers by Garam Investments on Monday invited prospective buyers of the two houses to submit their bids ahead of the auction day on April 28th.
“All that parcel land known as L. R. NO. 7741/263 (I. R. NO. 115833) off Kitisuru Road area Nairobi County registered in the name of Jeff Mwaura Koinange,” part of the ad read.
“The title is freehold interest. The current annual rates payable amount to Sh16,500. The annual rates payable together with accrued penalties amount to Sh70,291 as at 27.01.2020.”
NCBA bank is seeking to recoup about Sh65 million from the sale of each of the two properties over a loan that fell into default last year.
Those looking to buy the two homes through the public auction have been asked to place a deposit of Sh5 million ahead of bidding for the houses estimated to be worth Sh200 million.
"The bidders will be required to produce a bidding deposit of Ksh5 million by way of cash or bankers cheque before being allowed to bid," the notice adds.
Koinange was living in one of the villas and rented out the other one, which he previously used to store art pieces.
Koinange, who currently works with Royal Media Services, is believed to be one of the richest journalists in the country.

Some people seem to be happy for other people's misfortunes. The same thing can befall you or your friends. Especially, you guys in diaspora, you know you got shit covered in a pandora's box. One day the Fed may get the pandora's box open. Don't buy kids as dependants so as to steal from IRS.

Watu wetu!! why all this negativity. OK. Jeff might be going through personal issues or challenges. He is not any different from us. We all go through challenges but my concern is that there are those among us praising when one is going down. they then add a heap of lies to make it look good. Would you want to see such posted about you? Let's learn to be there with and for others and if one is not ready to do so, just save the ink in your pen. Stop posting lies on others!!

Well said my brother! Let’s not celebrate others while they are facing difficulties. And Jesus said, let the most innocent one cast the first stone to the prostitute. No one dared to do because they knew all of them were not perfect! Evan those shouting here have a lot baggage of their own and should stop celebrating misfortunes.

Jeff is a talented and iconic journalist, his money problems are none of anyone's business.
His alleged sexual offences are probably false, don't be quick to judge. Everyone has a dirty closet
Haters will always hate! Their lives are probably too boring. Please get a life and let people be.

I like Jeff so much. His work inspires everyone including his boss, the president and the kenyan public. We don't have a journalist of his stature in kenya and Africa of today. He is the only one.
I beg Mr. Hon. Macharia to bail Jeff koinange out of this embarrassment to himself, family and the country kenya not to mention Africa as a whole in the face of the world.
What is 130 million kshs for many millionare kenyans. This is the son of the great koinange. Whoever can bail him out, please do.
Do not wait to contribute 130 meter on his funeral after his death with stress. Ok, you sell his house, after this publicity, will he be on the screen again?
Jeff has asian in-laws, come on,let us bail him out whichever way.
I am a top notch licensed Auctioneer in this country, but for Jeff, a renowned journalist, the man who entertains me on TV, for a debt of kshs. 130 meter only, I would resist to Auction his property and forgo my fees.
Mr. Macharia, this is my personal appeal to you, bail Jeff Koinange out today and not tomorrow. It will add you some points as a carring employer. You talk the same language with Jeff. Immagine Jeff out of the screen due to stress on a kshs.130m debt. Come on Hon. Macharia, bail Jeff koinange out.
Jeff, come to the worst, open an Mpesa Till account for kenyans to contribute for your debt bail out. We kenyans will be united to bail you out in just few days before my friend and colleague Mr. Gikonyo of Garam Auctioneers rings the bell.
I watch your programs Jeff, I like you on the screen, it adds my days on earth. Not Jeff, let it be someone else.

I find quite a shaming for Kenyans abroad commenting about how Jeff is going down because of property investment issues. Some of you are shouting that Jeff s arrogant and so he deserves what is happening to him.But remember that Jeff is one of you who return home after working all over the world to try and make something for himself; which he has done very well! These Kenyans commenting here in a negative way ought to be ashamed. They are jealous of Jeff but the man will beat this nonsense. Stop putting one of your own down for no particular reason.

What is really wrong with Kenyans - you seem to enjoy talking about misfortunes of others rather than sympathize with those who have been affected. And why are so many Kenyans here celebrating Jeff’s problems while they have bigger problems of their own? It does not make any sense to be that cruel to someone you don’t even know. Stop it folks!

Folks, the coronavirus pandemic which knows no boundaries have yet to tame our negative thinking people toward those in trouble!

Wow, folks; please look at yourselves in mirror and restructure your evil thought process toward others! Jesus Christ, please come soon!!
