Kenyan influencer and media personality Azziad Nasenya has initiated legal proceedings against Qona Deposit Taking Savings and Credit Society, accusing the institution of an illegal attempt to auction her Kileleshwa apartment, valued at over Sh20 million. The case, filed before the Commercial Court in Nairobi, centers on allegations that Qona Sacco breached a loan agreement and unlawfully moved to sell her property.

According to reports, Nasenya had taken a Sh21 million loan from the Sacco, using her luxurious Kileleshwa apartment as collateral. The dispute arose after she reportedly fell behind on repayments, leading the Sacco to list the property for auction. However, Nasenya contends that the Sacco's actions were both rushed and illegal. In her affidavit, she asserts that she had already resumed payments and significantly cleared a portion of the outstanding arrears. Specifically, by September 2025, she claimed to have paid Sh4.2 million out of Sh5.1 million in arrears.

Despite these repayment efforts, the Sacco allegedly proceeded to advertise the property for auction on October 8, with the notice appearing in the Daily Nation on September 24, 2025. Nasenya expressed shock upon seeing the advertisement, stating that she was never served with a statutory notice or a demand letter for repayment, which she argues is a legal requirement. Furthermore, she accuses the Sacco of misrepresenting her property in the auction notice by advertising it as a three-bedroom house instead of its actual four-bedroom configuration. She fears this misrepresentation would undervalue the apartment and cause her significant financial loss.

The apartment in question is part of a modern twin-tower development in Kileleshwa, situated between the Lavington and Kilimani suburbs. This 17-floor complex comprises approximately 99 units, served by two high-speed lifts per block. The apartments are described as large, family-sized layouts, primarily four-bedroom (about 265 sqm) and five-bedroom (about 320 sqm), mostly all-ensuite and equipped with a domestic staff quarter (DSQ). Internal finishes boast separate living and dining areas, floor-to-ceiling windows, generous balconies off the lounge and master bedroom, walk-in closets, wooden flooring in bedrooms, and fitted kitchens complete with a pantry and laundry space. Upgraded master bathrooms often feature a bathtub and shower cubicle.

Shared amenities catering to an upscale, family market include a residents’ swimming pool, a fully-equipped gym/health club, landscaped garden spaces, and a dedicated children’s play area. The development also ensures essential services with a borehole and full back-up generator. Building services and security features typically include intercom access, 24/7 CCTV surveillance, electric perimeter fencing, and ample parking, often providing two slots per unit plus visitors’ bays.

Through her lawyer, Azziad Nasenya is seeking a court injunction to prevent the Sacco from proceeding with the sale of her apartment until her case is fully heard and determined. She maintains that Qona Sacco broke their repayment agreement and acted in bad faith by ignoring her efforts to settle the arrears and violating the agreed terms. As of now, Qona Deposit Taking Savings and Credit Society has not publicly responded to these serious allegations or filed an official defense.
