You don't seem to want to listen to "squatters" do you?

What you have been quoting above is the "historical injustices" that Kenyans fight about every 5yrs.

The "squatters" claim that the never sold any land to any mzungu. After all they never knew what a title deed meant. All they knew were their traditions where if someone died, his children inherited what they owned.

Now somewhere during independence and after, some clever Kenyans "bought" land from the former "owners" and the "law" ended up calling those who used to bury their families on those lands "squatters".

That is the crux of land issues in the whole of Kenya. From coast province to Central to Rift Valley.

The day that will be accepted in this country will be the beginning of the end of land issues. Last night was a beautiful day for Kenya and one that led us to solving our issues.

@alma, I am not a UK supporter but to be honest Kenyans care less about facts but more about tribal sentiment. The debate was largely useless in as far as swaying opinions goes and largely served to confirm the status quo!UK & RAO still the leading contenders. I was appalled by the low quality of questions. Instead of arguing about UK's land, KKV, Molasses why don't we ask these guys tell us they will fund the nice stadiums they have on billboards, free healthcare or 1m jobs. That's more useful!

Kausha, I don't care much who you support. I would like you to vote for Dida, PK, Kiyapi thought.

Your low quality of questions may matter to you but not to the person in Mombasa who has to beg an mzungu for permission to go from one part of the beach to another. Yet he's told that his great grand father was buried somewhere, mle ndani.

The reason it is important to talk about this issue is so that we can gauge the sincerity of the people you are electing.

Dida asked a very pertinent question. How do you expect a thief to tell you he has stolen?

So if you know someone has acquired their wealth in croocked ways, as most of the people on the stage last night, how do you expect him to actualise a 100 page manifesto? If someone has stolen before and gotten away with it, how do you expect him to be truthful tommorow about the grand 10 point plans in 100 days?

That is the issue and that is what was being asked last night.

If I told you my manifesto, you would fall on the ground with wonder. But my history should tell you that I'm lying and have no intention of doing anything I promise I will do.

For Dida we pray.

Kenmac, is that your opinion?

Have you asked the squatters their opinion on who is to blame for their predicament?

Please take a trip there one of these fine days. Then come and tell us that "the squatters there believe the 2% is too little to affect them. They are happy being squatters since only 0.007% of their land is owned by someone else."
