Eldoret, Kenya – In a surprising turn of events, Hon. Swarup Mishra, former Member of Parliament for Kesses and the prominent proprietor behind the Mediheal group of hospitals, is set to have a selection of properties auctioned. Jomuki Auctioneers, acting under the instruction of their client, have announced a public auction scheduled for Tuesday, 2nd July 2024, which will see properties associated with Mediheal Group Limited go under the hammer.
The public auction is set to take place outside the Eldoret Post Office, with the proceedings commencing at 11:00 AM. Among the properties listed for auction are several land plots in prime areas, including the notable Pioneer/Ngertia block and Elgon View-Greenevale Area.
The news comes as a shock to many, given Hon. Mishra’s established reputation as a successful businessman and healthcare provider. The reasons behind the auction have not been made public, but it raises questions about the financial standing of the Mediheal group and its affiliates.
Interested bidders are being encouraged to view the properties in question and verify details independently, as neither the auctioneers nor the principals offer warranties. Conditions of sale stipulate a mandatory viewing, with sales subject to a reserve price, land board control consent, and other overriding interests where applicable. A refundable bidding deposit of Kshs. 100,000 is required to obtain a number for the auction, and a payment of a 25% deposit is due at the fall of the hammer with the balance expected within 90 days.
The news of Hon. Mishra’s properties going to auction is not just a significant event for potential buyers and investors but also serves as a reminder of the volatile nature of the real estate market, and the realities faced even by the most established figures in society.
