Hi,

The first link tells:
"On January 11, 2009, MapKibera public domain data was imported 
into OpenStreetMap"

Perhaps that's the reason, a wish to collect data first to own repository 
which makes it possible to publish the data under different license 
than CC-BY-SA? Or perhaps not, because further work is going to be done
directly to OSM database.
