The auction conducted by Astorion Auctioneers set conditions for bidders, including a refundable deposit of KSh 50,000.
“Interested bidders are required to pay a refundable deposit of Ksh50,000 which is mandatory to get a bidding number. The deposit shall be paid in the form of cash at the State House cash office during normal working hours from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“All lots bided and fully paid for must be collected within 30 days failure to which the purchaser shall be liable to pay a storage charge of ksh1,000 per day,” read the auction catalogue in part.
Bidders will also be required to pay 25 per cent of the set price prior to the exercise.
“The balance must be paid in cash within seven days from the Auction day, failure to which the initial deposit will be forfeited and the item offered to the second highest bidder,” State House advised.
