After The Many Scandals That Rocked Her, Laura Akunga(Of The 10 Million Car Saga ) Gets Reprieve From An Unlikely Source
A sizable number of Kenyans were incredibly impressed when Laura Akunga gifted her ride or die, her husband with a 10 Million Kshs car.
But the whole thing just blew up in her face as some people embarked on a witch hunt in a bid to ‘expose’ her as a fraudulent woman. From evading taxes rumors, to being accused of being a fraud, Laura seemed to catch bullets form all-over the place.
After she managed to ward off some nasty rumors including evading taxes, Laura was once again in a fix, as reported by the Nairobian.
In an article titled “You owe me millions, businessman tells ‘Miss I love You Hubby” Laura was said to have been sued by Sriram Bharatam of Iridium Interactive for dishonestly acquiring $17, 894 (Sh17.6 million) from him. Part of the article reads
“On or about the month of January 2013, Akunga experienced financial difficulties. Family Bank had sought to recover a loan of Sh40million which she had guaranteed somebody, who had defaulted. Since she is known to me, I decided to lend her $50,000 (Sh4.9 million) in cash because there wasn’t enough time to do a bank transfer. According to her, she had been given 48 hours within which to clear the Sh40 million loan she had guaranteed someone.” A statement that was extracted from Sriram’s affidavit.
Family Bank is allegedly taking action against the Standard Group owned newspaper and is now demanding an apology for what they are now calling erroneous reporting. In a letter supposedly sent to Standard Group, the bank claims that “it has not at anytime sought to recover any debts against her directly on indirectly.
They went on to say that Akunga is a valued customer and the article was clearly meant to embarrass Laura. They went on to demand a public retraction and apology and the immediate removal of the offensive article from social media site.
If the media house refused to comply by 10th July 2015 they should expect a lawsuit from their lawyer. As I write this, on 9th July, Standard Group seems to have stuck to their guns as they are yet to pull down the article.
