The amount was a cumulative deposit made to his bank accounts between August 3 and May 20, 2010.
He was also ordered to pay Sh11,000,000 worth of immovable property, which including two parcels of land.
The lands were registered as; Parcel of land No. MN/1/13483 and Parcel of land No. MN/1/15351.
"The Defendant to also pay Sh683,861 being cumulative interest of bank deposits, costs of the suit to the Plaintiff," the Court ruled.
