The best way to get property value is to use a registered valuer. They could have gotten 2 or 3 different valuations for comparative purposes.
Ahmednassir should have either suggested Shollei to use valuation services either from private sector or from chief govt valuer at ministry of lands n housing. Any argument between the 2 lawyers without valuation is misinformed.

Looks like Shollei was on the wrong to try and negotiate without the rest of the JSC members. Also Ahmednassir was on the wrong coz it looks like when he got the wind of it, he tried to wrestle the deal from Shollei.
Bottom line is that JSC needs to create detailed mechanisms for procurement that involve all members. Public Procurement Oversight Authority needs to set time to teach Shollei, Ahmednassir n the rest on how to procure using tax payer money.

Once she is back, she will have to be more involving to the rest of JSC to avoid perceived corruption scenarios such as this.

@nandwa. .true. Shollei comunication with postal guys without involving all JSC members gives an impression of percieved underhand dealing. The communication could have beeb innocent but it ended up sounding fishy to JSC/Ahmednassir.
JSC needs to set up modalities on how to procure and communicate with third parties where all JSC are involved .

Shollei should just have been verbally corrected and asked not to repeat that instead of the sledge hammer on fly approach that JSC used on her.

@siringi..the issue is perceived corruption, not actual corruption.
By Shollei not divuldging the info to JSC, they might have throught she had something to hide. Its just common courtesy to inform the rest of the members for avoidance of suspicion.
I think dealings that dont fall under Procurement act are if for example, JSC sought the services of Ministry of Lands/Housing valuers as compared if they sought services from private sector eg lloyd masika, regent etc etc.
Am sure such billion shilling deals can not be left at the behest of both Shollei and Posta just because they are govt to govt deals.
If this is true, then this can become a serious corruption blackhole where ministries will sell to each other at ridiculous costs while middle man make the cut in between.

@muheani..as in Shollei would have saved us all this drama about Mombasa building if she simply informed JSC/Abdullahi of progress or discussion with Post Office Mombasa.

thank god you are neither in public service nor in control of my tax money ... or are you?
