Who did the 'planning'?

As I read an online article that reports the resistance of a Maasai community against a geothermal project development in their neighborhood, the following words stifle me.

"We have done a census and a resettlement action plan and it's a matter of time before we reach an agreement and find them alternative land," he said.

These happen to be the words of the project manager heading the project. Assuming that he meant a survey when he says census, it would have also been prudent to tell the public what the results of such a survey found out.

The power generating company clearly claims that they have a resettlement plan but it seems that they encounter resistance from a local Maasai community which only means they still have to implement the plan. The paper reports that a local man claims "environmental degradation and claimed women had miscarried due to poisonous fumes".

What was the aim of having a resettlement plan if you were going to bring in 100 of your engineers to work the project before you even talk to the local residents? Or was your plan to start a hazardous project ahead of your relocating people to safety, of course assuming the people agree to such a deal? If an assessment has been done by the government and the World bank financing team, were these Maasai locals ignored.
