MIHIGO v. AKARERE KA KARONGI

Mihigo Bernard did not have a direct and personal interest to sue Akarere ka Karongi because the assignment of debt from CBS was not formally notified or accepted by the debtor, and CBS continued to act as the party with the direct interest in the enforcement of the judgment.
