in historic sub-division of ranch

MEMBERS of the giant Konza Ranching Co-operative society are thrilled by the success already achieved in sub-di-viding and sharing out the ranches’ 22,000 acres of land.

During their 47^th Annual Gen-eral Meeting, the farmers were briefed on the progress of the historic exercise and unani-mously endorsed contents of a report presented by the Society’s Chairman of the Board of Directors Mr David Mutangili.

They then proceeded to en-dorse virtually all resolutions that he sought from them, a move that manifested deep faith in his leadership. Even then there was a dramatic twist that saw the elevation to the Board of Directors of a former Farm Manager- Danson Mbubi who had been expelled from the ranch together with a former chairman Paul Mbole.

The aftermath of the war has seen the Bomani DCC emerging as the biggest loser after the Area Church Council upheld a decision of the Bomani Local Church Council to eject itself from the DCC and suspending remitting an estimated Sh 200,000 every month to the DCC.
