Stupid Kenyans blocking other Kenyans from being given land that belongs to govt. How come hawakuchapwa na karao? Nkttt!

@kipronoh, karibu wazua, if you are not an old wazuan using a different name. Let me start by appreciating your honesty which is absent in many wazuans. I have argued that the violence seen in last elections was caused by ethnic hatred but triggered by the elections. Ethnic hatred that could have been brought up by land issues, unfair distribution of resources, cultural misconceptions etc. However you get it wrong when you assume that IDPs are people who were settled by govt(maybe in 70s under Jomo). A good number of them bought land thru land buying cos then in the agriculturally rich rift valley. Others bought as individuals. Please also note that they are not from 1 tribe as has been the assumption by many. I smell politics...there must be some idiot who fears the 250 families might tilt the scales

If WR and UK are real peace preachers, the simplest way would be for championing for the IDPs to go back to their original land. It is the only way to assure that evictions will never happen again. Hakuna njia ingine!!

Kenyans are indeed a crazy lot ! If the comments by Robinhood are anything to go by. so let me correct you if i may @ Robinhood. Squatters are a very different group from IDP's. Squatters already occupy land that is not theirs legally or until when the law deems to tilt in their favor (Ive heard that if they occupy your land for X number of years they are deemed as having rights, somebody please correct me if am wrong)
Secondly if we are to visit the "our" land issue all nairobians would have to relocate because as history teaches the land is communal grazing land for the Maa community.
Thirdly as you put it @robinhood

I have failed to understand why the government is not buying land for IDPs in non controversial places.

your argument goes back to your initial statement. Which land is this that would be non controversial if all communities declared "their" land to belong to them only.

@ Robinhood, while it may be indeed true that the squatters live in land that they may regard to as community land, that should not give them the right to stop other kenyans from being settled in another "communal" land. Maybe my memory fails me, but i do recall squatters succeeding in a court case against a former powerful mpig Basil Criticos some years back. That should be used as a precedent and all squatters should file such like cases in the high court to be determined. We should not use kifua all the time lets give our systems a chance to sort it out.
