The auction date was Tuesday and the price was Sh7.125 million.

Angwenyi in 2015  ran into financial headwinds after she was embroiled in the National Youth Service scandal.

A firm associated with her - Out of the Box Solutions Limited - won a Sh302 million consultancy contract to publicise tenders for women and the youth.

Out of the Box Solutions Limited was awarded the contract to carry out a campaign to enhance access to the 30 per cent of government tenders reserved for women, the youth and people living with disabilities.

The National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) stopped payments to the firm owned by Angwenyi  after they had been paid Sh90.7 million.

She was unable to convince the PAC on how she won the contract.

A court in Nairobi issued the bank freeze orders on Angwenyi's accounts  following an application by the Asset Recovery Agency (ARA).
