Jubilee party headquarters building up for auction

The complex which is located along Thika road at Pangani area in Nairobi will be auctioned on Tuesday, September 13 at Garam's headquarter offices in Westlands.

The property is registered under Florence Wairimu Mbugua of Farmers Industry Limited.

"Bidders will be required to produce a bidding deposit of Kshs 5 million by way of cash or bankers cheque before being allowed to bid," read a section of the auction notice.

Jubilee party is a tenant in the seven-storey commercial complex where they have leased since 2016, a year ahead of the 2017 General Election.

The headquarters was the party’s nerve centre in the last polls and houses offices crucial to its operations.

The party has however been rocked with unsettled rental arrears when Auditor General Nancy Gathungu in 2021 questioned how they spent Ksh.87.47 million on rent for the premises yet failed to register the lease agreement for the property with the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning to justify the payments.
