Case Studiesall without Esther’s consent.Our documentation team reviewed a series ofdocuments related to the case that included a letterfrom the Surveyors’ Registration Board that readin part, “I have searched the register of registeredsurveyors and found that the above named personis not and has not been a registered surveyor underthe requirements of Cap 275,” signed, C. I Inyangat,Bosco Oluba poses for a group photo with his family at their home inAmuru districtengage professional valuers, but interestingly, thegovernment valuer came up with the same figureof 2M per acre as had initially been offered by theTown Council, opposed to the 4M figure of Esther’svaluer. According to Mr. Openy [statementscorroborated by both Bosco and Donato], theinitial price of 2M per acre had been assented to bythe Registrar’s Secretary. This was in response tothe fraudulent undervaluation of Esther’s land byone Denis Omodo Ogwang who was acting onbehalf of the Town Council.After the successful court battle, the conflictingparties were urged to engage in an out of courtsettlement in which it was agreed that the Councilpays Esther 4M per acre less of 10 acres, the landwhere her homestead was located.Painfully still, Donato said to us:“If your land has beenplanned for example to be acivic area, it has to be so. Acirohas to leave at some point.”He added,Donato Oola-Olam, Assistant Chief Administrative Officer, AmuruKinyera and others, and indeed a down payment of20 Million Shillings was made by the Town Council;8M paid to Kinyera and 12M on behalf of the familyto Odur Cijar another relative involved in the deal-“We delayed some processes,but the plain fact is that thearea has been planned and itwill be implemented as perthat plan .”At the end of the day, Esther was a victor to a certainextent, but the exchange of her property [land] withtinted paper, meant that her family will never be thesame again.14
