what old jomo did was morally wrong but absolutely legal.he had the power to allocate any person(s) land(katiba mzee), only tha he chose to allocate himself entire districts.morally reprehensible but still legal.

I was just wondering why you chose to defend him ...that was not asking for sober debate, at some instances you do have points, not this time!! Can you imagine a UK presidency? flashback to the bitterness in this man's eyes...the "kwa nyokwa" statements and still facing issues of revenge attacks during PEV (a possible prove that he can actually revenge!!!)...some parts of this country will not develop at all...

meza wembe, you do not tell us how to behave or who to support! we will not operate in a container defined by you.

While I will vote for Martha Karua, but I know that folks like @kyt and @pariah here will not vote for Uhuru or WR (if their names ever show up on the ballot and they were 'clean') this is because land issues, IDPs, ICC, brookside e.t.c. are but squirrels that are thrown on the path to make us loose sight of the antelope.
They are not really unhappy that Uhuru and WR are alleged to have done what they did, they are not really unhappy that land was said to be grabbed, they are not really unhappy that IDPs spend their nights in the cold.
The real reason (the antelope) they are unhappy with the two is solely in the fact that the 2 are able to wipe the floor with their man RAO. if they were really true to themselves and able to tell us the truth - they would confess that they were happy when Kikuyus were being killed like flies in Jan 2008. semeni ukweli tuu. Its ok to have political positions but is insulting when you try to make us believe that the reasons you dislike the 2 men is on principle not by the fact that they seem like the guys who will spoil the party for your man.
tuambiane ukweli - hizo zingine ni excuses tu.

.....”Very unfair criticism if you ask me. I do not know of a single LAND scandal UK has been involved in. Kama babake aliiba, wachana na mtoto.(Ez 18)”....


I guess that is a moral issue. Personally if I owned that much land I would DONATE some to the IDP’s, not much, but just enough for them to live like human beings (leave alone Kenyans)

It may not be a Land scandal, but it is unjust, inhuman and immoral.

The extended Kenyatta family alone owns an estimated 500,000 acres - approximately the size of Nyanza Province - according to estimates by independent surveyors and Ministry of Lands officials.

We have approximately 350, 000 IDP's living in camps. Suppose the Kenyatta family (and other major landholders) donated just 1 acre to each IDP ? It is a matter of morals...
