Update on 20acre saga

Francis went to the judge twice, he found the judge had 45 cases. The judge said land issues are a bit tricky, and he cannot give an injunction until both sides presents their documents/case, because there has been cases of lands having multiple ownership. The judge said the MP(member of parliament) should present his papers and we compare, so a case can be developed then a decision can be made from that. The MP has 14 working days to present his case to the court. (By the way the MP has so many pending cases in court regarding fraud of many kinds.) John also said that the people who were involved in the 20 acre saga, (those mostly in the picture) are starting to get scared, and wanting an audience with John and Francis. The main guy who owns a fleet of businesses stores just next to us is no where in sight. They allegedly are spreading rumors that they had sat down with John and Francis, that they had agreed that from the 20 acres they be given 4 acres and that would settle the deal.
As we wait for the 14 working days for the MP to present his case, John visited with local police station boss to get advice on what we can do to stop the continuing process of building and to get some form of justice for Fatuma being harmed in the melee. We are not facing any violence, and peace is now restored to the both the teams' and students' hearts. I think the community is realizing the error they did and are trying to find ways to amend their mistake.
Let us still be in prayer for, the judge to give us an injunction, the police to help us with putting a halt on the building progress at the property, and Ben (his arm still aches) and Fatuma.

Moses, thanks for the update. I am happy to hear there hasn't been any more violence. Let us pray the judge is an honest and honorable person who will make his decision based on the law. You all are always in my thoughts and prayers...Larry
