The end of the month has come and it will not meet its obligations to suppliers and over 100 employees. The business should not be held on ransom by receivers,\u201d Dari lawyers argued.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, EADB and the receiver managers lawyer Fred Ojiambo disputed the claim, saying the banks were only cautious not to deal with Dari or its managers after they learnt about the case.The court also heard that Dari had declined to fully disclose information, which would enable receiver managers run it.<\/p>\n<p>Ojiambo argued that although Tuju is unwell, his children who are also directors or Dari\u2019s managers could furnish the court with the information. He accused Dari of unnecessarily delaying the case. The case continues next week on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju\u2019s firm, Dari Limited, clashed with receiver managers appointed by East Africa Development Bank (EABD) at the High Court after its accounts were frozen over Sh1.5 billion loan battle.
