Looks like they are worried about a white elephant.

Precise. It smells like a trojan horse. The much sought after mzungu investor thugs wanted to acquire coastal land in the name of so-called green energy, and in the process displace people.

They may not be lucky with Tanzania either, Magufuli is on a rampage over dubious signed deals such as this.

Africa is a tough place. Someone wants 10% to introduce you to the boss and then land has become a commodity, that's just before you submit plans to NEMA -10%, then another 10% for the local politician so he can keep away thugs. That's why investors shy away, unless it is something like IT.
