- Now to a follow up of the Banda Homes controversy that we have covered for the last several days. Disagreements between the company and the investors have brought to the fore, critical issues that could affect such housing schemes going forward. Tonight, in our special report, Nimrod Taabu takes a closer look at the deal that looked too good to be true and ended up heart aches and controversy
my advise to people who already paid for this is to cut your losses you might have to wait many years before they deliver or they might not at all. Assune your money went into buying the property and Just go for your title deed for your unit from banda and finish the house by yourselves!
people should just build homes and do their own follow up.. buying property and letting someone else manage it for you will cost you dearly.. it is cheap kujijengea tu polepole ata kama utaingia kama haina paint na stima it is ok.
If you can't buy a land on your own and build always buy a fully completed house thro a bank,it may cause you extra few bucks but it'll save you alot of heartache in the end
Kenyaaaa!! People are building all this concrete rubbish on fertile farmland and then complaining of food shortages and high food prices!!All our food now comes from TZ and UG even vegetables at marikiti!! Meanwhile our young people are just living in the city and looking for shortcuts. Thats why they get conned like this. Even the complete houses look terrible. 4 million can buy you tens of acres of land which you can farm and build on over the years.
If only we have a government in this country, these people would get their justice.
my guess is that banda has mismanaged the project and is probably out of cash
I pressure so too but seems to have been good project though but it's been ran down the pipe
Buy land in Rongai at 500k and build a house at 4m.(40 *80) plot size,then get a good car to help you get to your hustle.
Wapi hizo cheap plots brother??
@@masaimaramasaimara1272 Curious too. ziko wapi?
First of all the government should start controlling mushrooming of houses in arable lands even if it means changing the laws.We have big area in kenya which are semi-arid for 'concrate' life.
Most developers cut down alot of trees trying to put up the houses, they should try to find a way that the houses can co-exist with the trees
@@simplytenga True,they should think of flats not massonates,We need space and have to plan for the future generation coz the population is growing every day.
Geoff Mugo which government?? You don’t have one
@@gm859 true. They are useless
Absolutely......Watu waende ukambani
Makes me wonder if there exist a genuine real estate business in Kenya , Last year was Suraya Property
Please someone help us recover our millions. It's depressing revisiting this video. Where is the government. Please someone help
After this whole saga ends about another 5 years then mtaskia mhame hii land ni ya serekali...i think only government should take these kind of projects inorder be on the save side..
That's a very good opinion... Investing in Kenya is becoming an unworthy gamble
Y cant those who wear the mask not cover their noses.. it's annoying nkt!
I don't blame these innocent people cos they just wanted to invest . Arrest those rotten con beasts !
I just can't understand how you would buy a house at 5 million and then be subjected to service charge that is equivalent to the your current rent bill. These gated communities are expensive..
I know crazy I opted out paying for service and insurance charges while I haven't even been handed over my house. Even allocated.
The materials used are even substandard. Build your own houses pls
You are very right.
O MG! i wanted to try and purchase one house 🏡 here with Banda homes, but wait a minute! now am aware of this. Now i can go a head and buy plot and build my own house with no pressure.
Pesa ya watu imeenda na maji na hakuna kitu watafanya. Mm nlisema yangu nitajenga polepole sitaki loan wala story za project developer. Hii mambo ya kutaka vitu kwa njia za shortcut I won't do it. Huyu kamau ako ignorant na watu ni pesa yao wanaogelea. Watu kama hawa risasi ndio dawa yao
Jenga ushago kwanza with a small fraction of that money before giving hyenas your money!
kabisaa ..
these directors are pure thieves and should be in jail
As I always say in one of my life principles, I don't do business with my fellow KIKUYUS at all.
I totally agree with you...
Wacha madharau wewe😂
Such companies are many.
URITHI Housing is another.
5 years on and nothing to show the disheartened investors.
I am a victim.
The government will ignore same as gakuyo .we don't have a caring government for all citizens poor and rich..Kenyans let's change and sanitize our system of leadership from government downward since the OWNERS of this fake company are well known by courts of Kenya but no serious action is taken against conmen, corrupt leaders, murderers I just feel so frustrated been a Kenyan
I think Banda are genuine Business People. The only Mistake they did was to under quote the project cost then during construction they realised that hizo pesa hazitoshi and now they are stuck. My advice to someone who want to build a home, just buy land and look for an architect/Engineer who will build a structure for you that has a high structural integrity. Most Developers under quote to lure in people, then they end up using cheap construction materials, like in this Banda video the beam at min 21:37, inaguzwa tu kidogo na mkono na inachibuka,,,thats really substandard,,a concrete beam doesn't behave like that
That is what all the scammer start. Have a good start to blind people and then get their target.
This pure greed.i case of taking up so many projects without a clear way of executing the project
If they had started with fewer units i dont think they would be in this mess.its more a case of greed
@@MsAnnabella45 True,,,,Probably they didn't had anyone from the technical field
@Chris that's not the problem of the investors. The directors should simply honor their end of bargain. Optiven were taken to court due the same-Not delivering green houses
@@roselynogembo3057 Do you have the link for that case please? I know Optiven are crooks. They come to the states more than four times per year going from coast to coast. Money has to come from somewhere to pay for that cost.
Cheap is expensive.... Why not buy your own plot na ujijengee nyumba.
When the deal is so good think twice
You take them to court our mps like orengo and others will represent these thugs kenya will never move forward
As Jalas always says, never buy "your house will look like this when its over" ... buy what you see
With all this hard economic hardships some people are stealing from this innocent hardworking citizen they should be in jail by now not arguing with the investors at the ground.
One thing you need to learn is to NEVER spend your money on something that doesn't generate money in return
Who is here today?
How did this issues of Banda end?.... someone tell me....
I remember this guy Andrew,brother to lawyer Magu who killed his family. bure
Kamau and his team should know that people are no longer putting up with their NONSENSE,they have to deliver or their HEADS and INTESTINES should start to be delivered to vaultures. In this period of time kujuana na WAKUBWA haitakusaidia. Mtapatana na hao wakubwa kwa shetani
Corrupt real estators kenya should be careful wen buying homes from these kind of corrupt real estate developers
Be careful with these guys they are just changing their names from DINARA DEVELOPERS, LETTAS AND BANDA HOMES.
@Citizen TV kenya please do a follow up on this story. Thanks.
It's no lie, this guy mismanaged client's funds. Ask anyone who used to work there. He used to buy brand new cars costing millions, buy his many girlfriends Mazda Demios and give them thousands of shillings, throw extremely expensive parties where he'd spend millions in a night, all with customer's money. He was not accountable to anyone and ran things himself. Everyone who worked there saw this day coming, because all the money he used was not his, it was client's money!
Why does the government not intervene?
I hope they do these people justice.
Here we go again! Corruption and disrespect towards each other, when is accountability going to apply in Kenya!!? We got information about this project when it materialize two years ago, and our entities wanted to invest in several units, we declined after good advice from our lawyers,
hawa watu huongea wakisema sema 'right'...................ogopa
Guys wachukulieni hatua b4 they take flight with your cash.
This smooth talking conman has other failed properties development under different names
I knew he is a conman the moment he said, "like this mzee hasn't finished his balance" mwizi sana huyu!
Imagine 3 bedroom bungalow is 4.5 m i belive the land size is around 40 by 60 or 40 by 80 meaning that land in k road is around 2.5 m surely nyumba ya 2 M is a storey house
2 million a storey house??? Wewe hujui kenye unasema
Are there building standards in kenya? The finishing on these houses, acha tu
Kama you e done your best most of us kenyans are hard to deal with
why are you breaking my heart na venye nimebook nyumba moja
Surely do these people know anything about trust and relationship? This is painful. Read between the lines, listen and look at their faces before you get in some unnecessary manufactured mess! Sure, we all born different!
Quite sad and annoying. It also creates a bad image on other real estate investors. Hope Banda will eventually be able to put it together and deliver. It seem All is not lost at this time.
Everybody is a thief in Kenya am even waiting for collapse of safaricom
We lack vision in Kenya. Thats why the west and China is taking over Africa. Greed is a disease. Kenya has become a scam country. Look at our president. Its a shame
mene mene (everybody) no I am not a thi ef myself
@@shotdownbird if you're given a tender of 20 million ksh you deliver but the problem the system is rotten you will be influenced or killed
To be fair to the developer, estates even in the US tend to build in mass and most of the payment needs to be complete to provide all essential community services. in this case, they are bootstrapping the estate building costs which makes them cheaper. In the US, a developer builds all houses then sells the units at way more expensive prices. Keeping this in mind, it only makes sense that the timeline should be flexible to accommodate slow payers.
Waiting for Wilston homes
How about wilstone? Are they having this kind of problems too?
@@davidkamau1715 Not at the moment but I realized most sales executives from Banda moved there and the selling strategy is still the same.
And the fact that the construction is dependent on investor contributions, very tricky
So.
What happened after this expos`e
5.7 m can get you elevated or mansion 4 bedrooms house if you manage everything from scratch without middle men
It’s a bit sad for someone to go through this, people need to learn from others so many people have been conned with this projects just wish people could learn. Media should also be held responsible for misleading people
From Gakuyo to Suraya then Goldenscapes greenhouses now banda. Has all these proven that in Kenya you must keep your money in the matress and DIY? Never will i put my investment in a Kenyan investment firm. I see Cytonn falling suit. Kenya everything is a scam. Prove me otherwise. I Lost 300k on Goldenscapes. Never again wacha nikae na pesa yangu. Ata kama ni 20k
Faith Delina you forgot to mention. URITHI SACCO
@@shotdownbird Oh i have no idea Urithi has scammed its ppo coz the last time i checked investors were complaining and that's how it brews up. Its coming big
So sad,How did you lose the cash?
@@Honest_Man green house project that wasn't going on
@@Minister-Delina. so sad...I've lost faith in developers
Some of the developers are in cahoots with banks to swindle Kenyans off their money. Sadly Kenyans as well Gail to do due diligence
Sadly the arrogance in which director is speaking only reflects that he knows any judge in any courts is already in his big golded pocket..
5 million for a 2 or 3 bedroom bila a freespace atleast for the kid's to play that a scam....How do Kenyan's get into this scam's...buy a land for 2 million, build a modern house for 3 million..ma student wa group of school, kuchezewa na ma student wa public schools.
Dpp and dci to intervene kikuyus are suffering after kumira kumira.
Consumerism a big problem, time we start to be productive citizens.
Stone this kamau ASAP wacheni kusikiza tactics za Gakuyo
There's no scam here, just poor management of funds and very little profit margin for Banda developer that stalled this project.
The shoe string budget Banda is working with coupled with late monthly payments from investors only means one thing the project will stall not forgetting the project is fully funded by the investors.
A scam you don't bother to build all those houses infact you build only 2, then take cash for 100 houses then disappears, now that's a scam.
Well said
From Gakuyo, Banda and the rest. Kenyans do you ever learn?
Find a good lawyer and take them to court.
Conman he will never sleep in peace! Thief! Failure
KENYA it's bloody and dramatic Nairobi to be specific when it kams to land and housing. Am a young man but doing so is like a bad deal for me. I fear such an option. Sad..and this isn't the FIRST av seen/heard.
"The works we did at oakpark were excellent"
Cameraman: 'hold my beer'
They say the devil is in the details.. read and reread these contracts.. ask for advice if in doubt.. sorry for the burnt fingers.
Government should freeze their accounts and begin investigation scammers like that should be left with nothing and we always talk about Nigerian scams this is a big scam it should be internationally seen from Kenyan s abroad l will forward to all pages
Your Mps will represent them
Very stupid...how do you take a loan and give someone!!!!?
Yes, we are all born different, clearly...
If the deal is too good think twice my people. It is best to self build or buy a complete house. Otherwise just rent in peace😬
Please for once put scammers inside jail people should buy finished houses
Luzzona Ng yes I agree with u but be careful,,usiuziwe hewa
THESE PEOPLE GAVE KAMAU THEIR MONEY,....THIS GUY SURELLY IS USING THEIR MONEY TO DO SOMETHING OF HIS OWN TO MAKE MORE PROFIT
Bank should freeze the banda accounts.
I am sure there is no money in those accounts😂
Kenyans must understand that most of these so called gated community project directors are conmen. Next time Go and buy a completed house, not empty promises. You're likely to pay for a "Stonehouse" and get a "madhouse" delivered.
What about the other same case sometime last year by bishop were people refunded
Enda kamulu shamba one million jenga messionate ya 5m bila stress
Shida ni security
...Lakini kamulu hawapatianangi Title Deeds ...Wanasema watu Wangojeee🤔
Kenyans, just build your houses by yourselves. It may take long but you will have your house. Why don't we learn?
Those buildings are in a total mess. Workmanship is the worst.
The God who manufactures thunder and lightning knows the location of these criminals
Kwani why are some people not covering their nose 🙁
This project looks dead on arrival. As long as its abandoned, those walls are going to start falling. So they better continue building for themselves then sue banda managers later or assume they bought land for that money. Otherwise Banda has fucked them up
Why are the people with masks on are not covering their nose too?
Avoid investing into promises. Business is not personal. If you buy a house on paper on any subdivision 🏘 make sure there’s a complete home standing and additionally carry out due diligence Africans.
Dinara homes hehe ,he is a Con artist Why change names when he is a con.
Mauka Dante he con us with the kimbo apartment ata saa hii
@@kangaru580 look for his other partner too a slim dude ...a conman too they should pay.
goons and bandits are smooth talkers. they just exist in different shapes and sizes
Takataka kabisa. Good that these thieved are getting exposed
This same Gakuyo
Can't imagine the pain these investors are going through, working hard just to secure a home and make it in this country and someone takes advantage,, those developers should be burned to death,shame,may they never find peace
The reason why mchina anapewa job n government.....bcz we Africans cannot manage projects n time n be honest...... that's y I say.....go for mchina projects of houses.....
Are there Chinese developers locally?
@@Honest_Man yes.... they develop apartments like the Banda homes n they are faithful they complete the houses with the period they tell u they will take
@@geoffreynganga2541 which Chinese developer do you know
@@Honest_Man one of my relatives bought a house from them in the planning stage and they completed it and moved to the house last year
@@geoffreynganga2541 which developer??I need their name, I may hire then
Why are Kenyans so easily cheated? Housing, elections etc.
4 million:Is enough to get a land in Kajiado,build a 3 bedroom bungalow and still buy and drive a good car.Middle class is a scam
Rather build my own house it will be even cheaper to construct and be your own site Forman
MY ADVISE TO KENYANS,STOP CUTTING TREES TO BUILD HOUSES,INSTEAD BUILD HOUSES AND PLANT TREES IN THAT AREA
This Kamau man looks like the man who was almost thrown in a pool by Sonko goons. I think he is lying.
Real estate developers are very canning there's an estate right near Banda called Hardrock park you buy a plot at 8.5m and they tell you that everything is ready for you to start building. But there's no water nor electricity in this estate. Some of the land owners have no title deeds. They have not met any of the clients necessities an as per now nothing has been done. They are even harrasing their clients. Citizen tv needs to come here.
A plot for 8.5??That's day broad robbery
how do you pay all that money for something you have not seen?you paying all that cash for a dream drafted on paper.i believe a serious real estate company will build houses and complete them and then introduce buyers to something that is complete.
When the deal is too good....be alert
Mna pesa sana ya kupoteza
Your brother or sister cousin any member of family can not help to invest only your parents!
