was there:
said the delay is largely because of the owner/seller.
a. He was initially skeptic of mhasibu's capability to buy 300 acres/ha( not sure which) and offered an initial 200 with 'promise' to give 100 more on completion.
story goes like this: once completed mhasibu assumed the 100 will go @ the price of the 200, but the owner hiked to 1.2( b I think), and after client agreeing and releasing to the members, the owner again hiked to 1.6. (Question- weren't there any binding documents at these agreements for the owner to want to extract max. cents from mhasibu?)
Apparently at this point mhasibu decided to source another parcel and got @ 6km form thika s/highway.
-more contributions may be asked for to cover the extra cost.
b. While fencing the 200 units recently, a group (over 100) confronted the contractor claiming having bought the land. The matter is being handled at the chief's/lawyers offices, with the two groups' officials.
c. Members were however briefed on the modalities of the hopefull plots disbursement.
