Hotel at Dari Business Park Closed Amid Ongoing Tuju–EADB Dispute

Operations at a restaurant located within Dari Business Park have been suspended, as an ongoing dispute involving businessman Raphael Tuju and the East African Development Bank (EADB) continues to impact access to the premises.

In a statement issued to the public on April 29, 2026, Tamarind Group confirmed the closure of its Tamarind Brasserie Restaurant, stating that the closure was due to circumstances beyond its control.

Tamarind which has been operating at the business park, is now inaccessible due to the conflict between Dari Limited and the EADB.
