Demolition of 'palatial homes' at syokimau that rendered a 1000 homeless worked up people. Two weeks ago kyangombe n kpa slums were vanquished rendering 250000 human lost. Was there such huge outcry? Is this a veritable case of selective sympathy??.that land that witnessed tumbling of beautiful houses belongs to kaa square, same with the case for kyangombe, that land belongs to kpa. The squatters knew it for all this time n hv bn ignoring vacating notices for years. MPs were in both cases at hand to express there sympathy. If the illegal shanties went down with a mammoth humanitarian catastrophy,a few stones bungalows should come down for public good.

That aside i beg to ask. what is the role of government in both cases? At the same time where does individual responsibility of ones livelihood end and the government takes over?

Who sold the land to these people!

I think the Syokks demolitions appear to have gotten more attention coz the media targets the middle class( Tv and Newspaper) and so since syokss is middle class, they had to blow their trumpets as hard as they could. Sad but harsh reality.

On another note am yet to see any of the syokians brandishing a title deed for all to see as happened with the IDP's who were displaying the titles.I think KAA has the mother title acquired earlier.

I doubt whether the govt can just wake up one mornin and order demolitions without cause.

But just to demonstrate the double standards, remember how the likes of Sameer Park and Std Group way to be demolished to pave way for the expansion of Msa Rd. and the gov backtracked.

Its a classical case of class.
