Nairobi tycoon Samuel James Kinyanjui is well known among youths in Kibera as one of the biggest tycoons in the city.
For sometime, Kinyanjui's empire has been faced with uncertainties following a series of court battles linking him to money laundering.
The latest move by court to restrain the Banking Fraud Unit from revealing his details with the financial institutions has come as a landmark ruling for Kinyanjui after he earlier moved to court when banks refused to serve him.
The banks cited orders from the banking fraud investigators.
“That an interim conservatory order be and is hereby issued restraining the first respondent from circulating the details of the petitioner to the financial institutions and banks under the proceeds of crime and anti-money laundering Act,” read in part the orders by Justice Wilfrida Okwany.
Kinyanjui has constantly claimed that his businesses were suffering because he had been blocked from accessing financial support from banks.
