PAUL KOBIA UNDER SIEGE
Controversial businessman Paul Kobia is among the recent victims of the new banking regulatory rules having Barclays Bank close his accounts.
In a letter addressed to Kobia, Barclays Bank informed the city businessman that the lender had cut ties with him from January 14, 2019.
According to Mr. Kobia, the regulations are intended to hinder investment from abroad and violate the privacy of the clients.
In his suit, Kobia sued the CBK and Attorney General Paul Kihara claiming that Barclays’ decision was made following new rules.
JALANG’O RAGE

Ivy was killed by Naftali Njahi Kinuthia at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) on Tuesday.
Friends said Mr. Kinuthia had been obsessed with Ivy. Detectives said he had sent money several times to Ivy, including money for her birthday party.
In a lengthy post on Instagram on Thursday, Jalang’o warned young girls not to accept money and gifts from men without thinking of possible consequences.
