    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) On 16th September, 2011, M/s Synergy Industrial Credit Ltd. reported a fraud case against the directors of Cape Holdings Ltd. The complainant, Vishan Shah, on behalf of M/s. Synergy Industrial Credit Ltd. reported that during the months of January/February 2010, his company entered into an agreement with one of the directors of the suspect company namely; Vinaye Sangrajka, for the purchase of two office blocks and car parks at a commercial office known as 14 Riverside off Riverside Drive, which was being developed on a piece of land LR.No.209/19436. Based on the agreement and understanding that the project would be completed by June, 2010, the complainant transferred Kshs230 million and US$1,397,856 to the suspect’s company account held at I&M Bank between June and July 2010. However, by the end of June 2010, the project was not ready as agreed. The directors of the two companies then agreed that the project should be ready for handing over by 31st August 2010. Again, by the end of August 2010, the project was not ready for handing over as agreed by both parties. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this has resulted into a further negotiation where the directors of the suspect company demanded to be paid additional funds for completion of the project. In February, 2011, the complainant company had paid a total of Kshs577,200,000 and US$1,526,888 to the suspect company towards the final completion of the project which was to be handed over by 31st March, 2011. By the end of March, 2011, the project was still not complete as agreed. In May, 2011, the complainant terminated the contract and demanded full refund of the money paid to the suspect company. On realizing that the suspect company was not willing to complete the project or refund the money, the complainant read mischief on the part of the directors of the suspect company and decided to report the case to the police for investigations. (b) Police launched investigations into the case and as investigations were being conducted, the directors of the suspect company moved to the High Court and filed a Miscellaneous Application No.240/2011 where they obtained temporary orders stopping the police from investigating the case against them."
