The High Court has ordered that he personal back accounts in the manes of the Judiciary’s Chief Registrar, Anne Atieno Amadi, as well as her son’s Brian Ochieng Amadi and two others to be frozen and no withdrawals be made without approval.

This is after, Ms. Amadi was sued alongside her son and the two others by Dubai- based company that deals with gold.

In the petition file, the company Bruton Gold Trading LLC claims that the suspects, acting on behalf of Ms. Amadi’s firm, illegally obtained over Ksh.89M for gold that they never supplied.

The company revealed that it was interested in buying gold from Kenya and was introduced to one of the suspects, Daniel Ndegwa Kangara.

They said that after the agreement between the two parties, Mr. Kangara was to deliver gold which would then b exported to Dubai.

Money Sent

In the petition, Ksh.71M was sent to Ms. Amadi’s law firm, but no gold was ever exported from Kenya to Dubai.

Suing the Judiciary Registrar, they claim that investigations done by DCI reveled that she is the registered proprietor of Amadi and Associates Advocates.

They also revealed that the investigations disclosed that the account where the money was deposited was also opened by Ms. Amadi after joining the judiciary.

They also claim that the funds received by the firm were withdrawn in cash by Ms. Amadi’s son and two others without adequate documentation as required by the Proceeds pf Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act.

In the court papers, the company alleges that Ms. Amadi later called them seeking to clear the payment within six months, to which they declined as their was no security performance on the part of defendants.
