The duo, according to the court papers, has admitted the debt but neither made commitment nor responded to the petition.

His guarantor is now being required to pay Ksh6.5 million.
Jhanda is said to have serviced the loan for only six months, prompting the bank to clamp the lorry and consequently had it auctioned.
The lorry, a Mitsubishi Fuso, was auctioned on April 26, 2016, for Ksh5.1 million, which was below its current market value of Ksh6.87 million.
