Ernest Mureithi, the man Dubai tycoon Sunny Varkey tasked with running Gems Cambridge campuses in Kenya, has for the third time sued Kiambu Mall owner Peter Burugu in a bid to take control of a Runda-based school recently sold for Sh1.2 billion.

In the latest application before the commercial division of the High Court, Dr Mureithi is seeking to scuttle Mr Burugu’s sale of Regis Runda Academy Ltd to ADvTECH, a firm listed on South Africa’s stock exchange and which owns the Makini chain of schools, for Sh1.2 billion.
