On 11 November 2024, the High Court in East African Cables PLC v Equity Bank (Kenya) Limited KEHC 14009 (KLR) delivered a ruling that reaffirmed the strong position of secured creditors in enforcing security. When East African Cables PLC (the borrower) defaulted on a KES 1.7 billion loan that was granted to it by Equity Bank (the bank), the court upheld the bank’s right to exercise its statutory power of sale over the charged properties despite the borrower’s attempts to block the process.
