the right side of this page is given a "SWOT"- analysis (Strength,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) based on a possible situation
where Haydom Development Company Ltd, (HDC) is owning and managing
the Central Maitenance and Service Centre and the Mulbadaw farm.
We think HDC is the company best skilled to
own and manage the properties in a way that will give most benefit
back to The Haydom Lutheran Hospital and to all the local people
close to the farm.

Issues in the conflict HDC vs. HLH/FoH:

The
unilateral physical take-over of Mulbadaw Farm and Central

Friends of Haydom in Norway; without producing any court
injunction or any legal document authorizing such a take-over.

|
The
conduct of the chairman of the Board of Directors of Haydom
Development Company Ltd; his lack of loyalty to lawful
decisions made by the Board in 2006 and his unauthorized and
secret dealings with Joseph Tadayo leading up to the
unilateral physical take-over mentioned above.

The
deceit by FoH in fulfilling their own board decision of
October 2005 in financing HDC Ltd

The
lack of registration of the entity running Mulbadaw Farm and

services
|
|
|
Opportunities:

workshop for agricultural tractors
|
|
Good

|
|
Main
base for development and production of new agricultural
equipment; “zero cultivation”
|
|
