Legal Victory: Court Lifts Freeze on Bank Accounts of Chief Judiciary Registrar Anne Amadi
On Friday, June 9, the High Court in Nairobi unfroze the bank accounts of Anne Amadi, the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary.
In his ruling, Justice Alfred Mabeya determined that there was insufficient evidence to suggest that Amadi profited from a Ksh102 million gold scam.
Citing an affidavit filed by Amadi. The court determined that the registrar was not involved in the daily operations of her law firm. Which was allegedly responsible for supplying gold to a Dubai company.
The judge ruled that there is no evidence. That the first defendant was involved in the daily operations of the law firm.
Amadi allegedly profited from payments made to the law firm for the purchase of over one thousand kilograms of gold.
Amadi attempted to clear her name in an affidavit she filed with the High Court on May 23. Stating that she was not involved in the gold transaction.
She added that the funds were not transferred to her account. As a British businessman who claimed to have been defrauded claimed.
“No evidence has been tendered supporting the general allegations that I have fraudulently benefitted from the alleged undelivered gold consignment.

“I confirm that no such sums relating to the impugned transaction were ever deposited to my personal bank accounts, and the petitioner has failed to tender any evidence that I was a beneficiary of the alleged fraud,” she stated.
The court froze Amadi’s accounts on May 19 after the petitioner claimed that her law firm was paid for the supply of gold.
As a result of the court petition, her son was denied access to his bank accounts. As it was alleged that the commodity was not delivered by the contract.
“She is among those who orchestrated a fraudulent scheme to obtain money by pretense through her law firm Amadi and Associates Advocates. They received the funds and hurriedly withdrew them in cash without adequate supporting documentation,” the petitioner alleged.
Notably, another petition seeking her removal from office was also filed with the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
Amadi was accused of gross misconduct in a petition filed on June 2, following the Ksh102 million gold scam.
