Grand Manor Hotel was part of the long infighting between Sonko and Kidero, UN had began sending requests/Emails back then when Sonko was a Senator asking the County to stop the development of the Hotel. The guys oiled Kidero and bypassed Sonko thus adding salt to injury, Sonko has been targeting the Hotel long before becoming a governor when he always walked with lots court papers and evidence against Kidero to every Media house.

The destruction of the hotel was coming, since he had mentioned it severally... the worst think about all this is that it was partly an EMOTIONAL vendetta against Kidero. I am sure Sonko views this as an achievement. To be honest, I will not be surprised to know Kidero has some ownership rights in Grand hotel

Right from the construction, this man was warned but he greased City-hall hands back then and thought he would continue doing so. Too bad.


The county govt (under kidero) gave him approvals for the building. He should sue the county for the 3 billion he used to develop the property. The county can't just come in when you have completed the construction and demolish the building despite the approvals. The rogue governor must be stopped and be made to pay dearly. We are a country governed by laws.

Were they not in court? The ruling came from a GOK court.

I'm sure you're right. This was too personal.

BBI will solve it :)

Dont vent your anger for nothing, this guy corruptly built this hotel. Paying for approvals and not listening to advice let him know there are laws governing the country too

Kudos. Respect private property...

The court stopped the demolition of the hotel

http://www.mediamaxnetwo...n-of-grand-manor-hotel/


Quote:
The demolition of multi-million shillings Grand Manor Hotel in Gigiri was halted yesterday after the owner Praful Kumar lodged an appeal.

Environment and Land Court judge Benard Eboso ordered that the demolition be stopped pending the hearing and determination of the case by the businessman.

Whitehorse Investments Limited through lawyer Githinji Marete informed the court that if the orders are not issued, Nairobi county will continue with the demolition of the said property.

With the damage already done by SANY, the idea of a hotel is no more. Maybeit can now be converted to a students hostel
