Man’s failure to seek consent from wife to sell land costs buyer and Sacco

A buyer and a sacco are facing a Sh13 million loss for failing to ascertain whether a man had sought his wife’s consent to sell a piece of land.

Third-party buyer Joseck Mukuha, a resident of Murang’a County, bought the contested land estimated to be a quarter acre from one James Kanyuga and used it as collateral to secure a Sh13 loan from Unaitas Sacco in 2014.
