Like I said earlier, I am a recipient, a beneficiary of the organization so I have a deep interest.

About tax, for the monies sent via phone. KRA took its pound of flesh from every single transaction sent. I think that is how these things operate.

A4architect.com, will do. will give the heads up though now I think they are all thinking of 17th.

Thanks for the update.

That issue of After Tax is still not clear.

If its about mpesa, its deducted upfront through the system and you receive net.You dont receive amounts and then give KRA its portion separately.

What is so difficult in giving a small summary of amount received and how its being used.

Ok the buildings are on- going but at what cost.

I understand it is not going any higher and they will put the roof over that level.

Pushing it huh!

From what I read in yesterday's Nation newspaper, The gov't has will contribute Ksh. 40m to this campaign. Of this, 10m will go towards paying tax liabilities to KRA (unsure which taxes exactly, ni hizo za mpesa ama ni stamp duty ama zote) while 30m will come from the Ministry of Health and go directly towards the project. The campaign is also looking to raise further funding from corporates; I think a figure of about 40m or so was mentioned as coming from Chandaria, etc.

@muriel, we would appreciate if you sourced for us the building plinth area so that we can see how much our guestimation is compared to actual size.
Looks like there is a 10 to 20% plinth area void in the middle, reducing costs considerably.


This means there should be a 10 to 20% reduction in cost too from the total estimate.

@muriel. Also give us their numbers we call for info.
Is this their no. here? Its not going through. Give us any contact you think might be helpful to us for further clarifications.

You see that white spot at the back of the building? We were told it is another unit to be put up.

The back has 3 levels because of the slope as you can see while the front has 2.

Anyway as far as I know, as we were informed, the 73m will make what you see there operational to some degree maybe not 100%. Unless there are things I am not privy to which is likely.

But there are some things I do not know, honestly.

Like summary of accounts BigChick is asking for, the plinth area etc. What I have shared are the crumbs that I have come across just by observation.

Their contacts are (from the brochures handed out on 17th)

About the 30m donation by the gaarment, I think the NSIH will readily find prompt use for it - if only they get it. Just my thoughts on priorties. They should let the Chandarias do this thing. Maybe thats how the gaarment thinks.

Oh, and paraplegics who might have been unaware were invited - in case you know of any.

Kenya paraplegic called me back and said that the info regarding the kiserian building is confidential and can only be communicated if one goes to their office.
I thought their office is located along Lenana road at the current spinal injury hospital.

I went there but found out they dont operate from there.
@muriel. You seem to have a way with these people. Please get for us info regarding how many sq.m the building is.
Also, please give us info on where the paraplegic offices are located.

It's been quite a while since I was those sides of the city but I recall they used to operate from a building whose name I forget that was located on the sude of the road opposite to the NSIH. Coming from the Egyptian embassy side going up along Lenans road, their offices were on the left hand side of the road shortly after the DoD junction.

Good job, we will be ready for phase two contributions provided this is handled well. God bless the team!
