Moscow-based investment bank, Renaissance Capital’s quest to firm its grip on Nairobi’s Sh240 billion real estate project dubbed Tatu City has sparked a vicious boardroom battle that has now spilled over to the courts, casting dark clouds over what promises to be Kenya’s single largest investment plan.
