The application, submitted on December 3, stems from a court directive issued on July 5, 2015, by Justice Anthony Ndungu.
The order laid out specific instructions on how the couple's rental income should be distributed.
According to the directive, Maina was authorized to collect rent from a plot in Nakuru, while Kabuu was entitled to earnings from properties in Umoja, Nairobi, and Bahati Kabatini.
However, Kabuu alleges that Maina has flagrantly ignored the court orders.
“It is true that the plaintiff developed the suit properties in Free Area, Nyandarua/Silibwet 2074, 2075 and 2076 without the consent/approval of the defendant. The illegal structure ought to be forthwith demolished,” the application reads in part as per Nation.

'I could never go to school here'- Jamaican athlete Junelle Bromfield reveals reason she doesn't fancy Noah Lyles' America
Junelle Bromfield, fiancée to Olympic champion Noah Lyles has revealed why she wouldn't have been able to school in Lyles' home country USA.
She told the court that she took action after discovering her name had been excluded from the list of beneficiaries for the disputed properties.
Kabuu alleges that Maina has gone so far as to develop properties without her approval, a move she deems not only illegal but deeply disrespectful to the court process.
Kabuu’s legal woes are tied to a larger matrimonial case filed in 2014, in which Maina is seeking a 50% share of their property portfolio, valued at over KSh 100 million. He asserts that the assets were acquired and developed jointly during their marriage.
Kabuu vehemently disputes these claims, stating that the properties were purchased and developed using her athletic earnings.
