Home Stretch for Konza Ranch
Konza society mulls over its success
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 47th 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 fight at AIC Bomani
AIC Bomani wages
vicious
offertory fight
By Martin Masai
In the last story carried by The
Anchor on the frequent bouts of drama at the church, we reported: “But sources
says the battle royale lies ahead as church groups eye the cash worshipers
raise every Sunday. Though revenue has gone down considerably, those bend on
dipping their hands into the church coffers are digging in for a big fight so
as to join the gravy train in Bomani.”
Nearly two years later, AIC
Bomani is reeling under a civil war that
literally revolves around proceeds that
committed Christians offer every Sunday. 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.Saturday 15 September 2012
