Auctioneers on Thursday raided the Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) offices along Ngong Road taking away some of their items.
According to the Daily Nation, the auctioneers took away office equipment, the Safari Sevens trophy and other important things.
The move, it has emerged, was as a result of an Sh4 million debt KRU owes Emi Travel, a tours and travel agent, since 2015.
Emi Travel is said to have facilitated the Kenya national rugby team, Kenya 15s, to Spain for a match.
“We have tried to solve this matter amicably over the years to no avail. We first went to court in 2016 and have been patient enough with KRU. We got court orders to auction KRU and were actually lenient enough not to do so during the recent Safari 7s," a source from Emi Travel told Nation Sport.
“They (KRU) got the notice and paid Sh1 million but really that was just to avoid the inevitable which has eventually happened. They need to respect businesses that support them, if they did this wouldn’t have gotten to this level,” the source added.
KRU chairman Oduor Gangla confirmed the raid saying: "It is an old debt. The incident is unfortunate but there is nothing we could do. We access most of these services on credit when the government does not pay on time, then we encounter such incidents."
