A Nairobi High Court has issued a warrant of arrest for businessman Julius Mwale over an unpaid court decree totalling Sh 34,104,384 owed to Sifatronix Limited.
At the same time, Mwale has been accused of issuing fake RTGS transfers to the law firm representing the petitioner, amounting to $39,540 on December 18, 2025, and $45,040 dated November 26, 2025, respectively.
Mwale did not respond to our text messages and telephone calls on the issuance of the alleged fake RTGS transfers to the petitioner’s law firm.
Mwale is a globally recognised entrepreneur, technology innovator, and the founder of multi-billion-dollar ventures, and now has a date with the Kenyan courts.
Mwale developed biometric security technology and established SBA Technologies in the U.S., and in Kenya his flagship project is Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC).
In Nairobi, Milimani Court Judge Noelle Kyanya, in a ruling dated 19-12-2025, issued a warrant of arrest for the execution against Mwale.
“Whereas J/Debtor Tumaz & Tumaz Enterprises Limited & Julius Mwale were, by decree of this court dated 27th February 2025 in the above-mentioned suit, ordered to pay the decree holder the sum of Sh 17,128,300, and whereas the sum of Sh 34,104,384 remains unpaid in respect of the said decree, these are to command you to arrest the said J/D and unless they shall pay to you the sum of Sh 34,104,384.46 as noted in the margin, together with the executing officer’s expenses and fees, if any, to bring the said judgment-debtor before the court with all convenient speed,” it read.
The Judge ruled further: “You are commanded to return this warrant as soon as it is executed or the money noted in the margin is tendered to you, with an endorsement certifying the day on which, and the manner in which, it has been executed, or the reason why it has not been executed.”
However, Mwale moved to the Milimani Court to vacate the warrant of arrest, but the court directed that he deposit his passport with the court or provide a surety security amount as ordered by the court.
“In order to balance the interests of both parties, I grant Order 3 of the said application and vary the stay orders granted on 19th December 2025 to the extent that the 2nd defendant, Julius Mwale, shall deposit his passport in court not later than the close of business on 24th December 2025, or in the alternative provide a surety for the security amount ordered by this court, within the same period, who is permanently resident in Kenya and of means,” ruled Justice Githeru Freda Mugambi.
Justice Mugambi also directed that, in default of depositing his passport or providing security, the warrant of arrest would remain in force.
“In default of this, the stay order shall be deemed to have automatically lapsed and the respondent shall be at liberty to execute,” the Judge directed.
