an amicable agreement to buy back the land from kevevapi is a win win for everyone. the buyers will keep their houses and the kevevapi will get their worth of the land. Am sure this time round the house owners will come with their wallets wide open after the recent happenings. All CS lands will need to to is to say his price per acre and am sure no one would object.

Maybe this time round with the land commission intact, the transaction will be completely fool proof sealed to avoid subsequent govts reopening the issue again in future.

@muganda, good arguments on the land rights there above.In your argument, its assumed that the colonial govt pushed all responsibility as to govt to the kenyatta govt, which is similar to how british recently argued in the mau mau case but lost.

The natives would then argue that its the colonial govt, not the kenyatta govt than needs to compensate them for alienating their land, like the mau mau recently argued.

Lets just say this opens a pandora's box that no one is ready to deal with. The easiest way is to cut the line of legal ownership at kevevapi and accept to move on.

@alma, of course the situation will need to be pushed to its logical conclusion. From this article, it looks like some tidy amount of money has previously exchanged hands. This can be traced back to offset the compensation.

@alma, the argument above is on a completely different subject, not your thieves pet topic. Looks like given a chance, you would volunteer to suicide bomb these so called thieves..hehe

All land in Kenya is under the jurisdiction of GOK, and with it the duty of equity. The 2008 MauMau court case could not revisit the issue of land but of torture.
