Primary source

The firsthand account in Shaw v. Mwale

The strongest evidence in the record is not secondhand: the plaintiffs in Shaw v. Mwale (No. 1:24-cv-00122, D. Utah) describe visiting the Kenyan project themselves in August 2022, after paying the Mwales approximately $1.7 million. Their sworn complaint states:

“The hospital, previously represented as the world’s largest and most advanced, was a complete construction mess – as it had been… for more than five years. Only one wing of the hospital was working, with only a run-down clinic on the first floor, primarily treating children from surrounding schools for malaria.”

The complaint adds that the hospital had no cancer treatment facility, the golf course greens had no holes, and the “rental homes” were vacant 10×10 concrete boxes — and calls the hospital “simply a shell” and “a mere ruse.” These are the plaintiffs’ allegations, made in a filed federal complaint — verifiable through PACER under case number 1:24-cv-00122.
