Dear Sir,

RE: REPLY TO DEMAND FOR UNPAID-OXIC BAR AND RESTAURANT

The above matter refers.

We act for MR EDWARD MUGENDI MUTHONI (herein ‘our client’), under whose
instructions we address you as hereunder.

Our client informs us that he is in receipt of a demand letter, for payment of rent arrears
amounting to Ksh 48,000 with reference to Oxic Bar and Restaurant situated on Plot No 6 at Ena
Market. The demand letter Dated 28 th March 2024 requires our client to pay the same within 5
days failure to which you have instructions to institute appropriate legal action.

Our client Informs us and so we bring it to your attention, that he received the said demand letter
on 8th of April 2024 by which time the demand period of the letter had lapsed, safe for the fact
that he came to the knowledge of the said demand letter when he received communication from
the Landlord, your client, on the 1 st of April of 2024 informing him of the demand letter that was
dropped at the leased premises in his absence and that he had seven days to act upon the letter.

Our client informs us that in deed there are pending rent payments with respect the leased
premises. That the same is not intentional but circumstantial, occasioned by factors beyond his
control. That owing to the current tough economic times in the country and in light of the recent
crackdown on alcohol sellers in the country, the same has frustrated business therefore his ability
to make good the terms of the lease agreement.
Our client further informs us that the recent strict reforms being implemented by the government,
which includes the strict observance of the 300 metres rule of location of alcohol selling
premises from learning institutions has threatened the objective for which he leased the premises
and stares at an oblique future pending the outcome of the recent inspections on alcohol sellers.
Our client informs us that he understands the terms of the lease agreement on matters payment of
the rent and he is not opposed whatsoever to the requirement on lamp sum annual payment of the
rent.
In light of the foregoing, Our client proposes that he pays Kenya Shillings Twelve thousand
(Kshs 12,000/=) an amount that will see to it that the monthly rent payable for the leased
premises is upto date. That is rent for the eight months for the year 2023-2024. That he be
allowed one month to pay the balance owing of Kshs 36,000 in lamp sum to the lessor.

The proposal is with reference to the pending approval of operations of the business and that it
will only be proper and human enough that the balance of the rent owing to the lessor be paid on
receipt of the outcome of the Recent inspection.

Our client seeks your indulgence and accommodation on this proposal and plan of settling the
rent due with all the goodwill, his earlier payment of Kshs 60,000 is testimony enough of the
commitment and goodwill of our client to make good the terms of the lease agreement.

We trust that it shall not be necessary to take any legal action against our client and look
forward to communication from you that you are agreeable to the proposal.

Yours faithfully,
CHEGE KIBATHI & CO. ADVOCATES LLP
