The Batir Constructions LTD Success Story
Grammar Gone Wrong
First, we’re greeted by the line: “Here from our beneficiaries.” (Hear? Here? Who knows. Grammar is clearly “COMING SOON.”) Then comes a massive “Success Stories” button that whisks you away to… a blinking banner shouting COMING SOON! STAY TUNED! Because apparently, after 8+ years and 30+ “finished” projects, not a single happy client has had time to write one line of praise.
The Case of the Disappearing Projects
But wait, it gets better! Project numbers are a moving target. In person, Fidelis flaunted 38+ successful projects. Then the website slid to 35+. Now it proudly says 30+. At this rate, the next update will be “10+ fond memories of projects that almost happened.” Maybe “successfully finished” really means “fully paid,” and once the money’s spent, the project quietly disappears from the list.
Construction Sorcery 2025
And those 25+ ongoing projects in 2025? That’s some serious construction sorcery. For years the pace was 4–5 a year. Then suddenly, in 2025 alone, they’ve got 25 ongoing? Either they’ve mastered teleportation, or “ongoing” just means “payments are still flowing in.” And yes, we’d love to know if our abandoned shell of a house is still part of that tally.
The KSh20,000,000 Punchline
And then came the pièce de résistance: a legal letter demanding a jaw-dropping KES20,000,000 in damages. Yes, you read that right — twenty million Kenyans Shillings because I dared to tell the truth.
The math behind this comedy?
- KSh 12,000,000 for “injury to reputation, mental anguish, and distress.” (Apparently, being called out for abandoning a project causes more trauma than actually living in a half-built, crooked concrete shell.)
- KES8,000,000 for “lost business opportunities,” complete with “documented contract withdrawals and cancellations.” (If your business collapses after a handful of truthful comments, maybe the problem isn’t the comments?)
And just when you think the farce couldn’t get any funnier, the lawyer backdates his letters. On the PDF it proudly says “Date: 17th July 2025” — but the metadata tells another story: created and modified on 19th July 2025 by user “Admin.”
So not only do we have a contractor playing builder with hand saws, we’ve got lawyer Dr. Cyrus trying to play Frank Abagnale Jr. in Catch Me If You Can — only without the brains. It’s like forgetting to sign a forged check.
Dreams Precast, Promises Broken
So here it is, ladies and gentlemen: spelling errors, vanishing projects, imaginary math, and lawsuits priced like luxury villas. If the words don’t add up, and the numbers don’t add up, what do you think happens to the promises? For diaspora clients: the only time Batir Construction has ever overdelivered — in the sheer imagination it took to price slander at luxury-villa levels.
