Syokimau residents whose houses were demolished should now troop back and reclaim their land and rebuild. They had also invested billions. If kevevapi and tassia land "grabbers" have been offered the option to buy the land, why not syokimau?

First those ones don't have Sonko. Second they probably voted for the same people who sold them the land.

They should lie low like envelops they are. They would have single handedly solved land issues in Kenya and they had the support of Kenyans.

But they choose to lie low like envelops. Na wakae hivyo hivyo.

@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.



@muganda,based on the above that current GOk has duty to compensate any land issue and not the colonial govt, in your opinion, do the original natives who were alienated have any grounds for request for compensation for their land which GOK took to allocate to kevevapi?

So the vitriol and name calling has disappeared and sense is creeping in. That's how it should be, like tycho says, a reasonable discussion. So, if someone has taken a mortgage and built, but is unable to pay kevevapi the market rate of the piece, what happens? They lose it? And will there be a tug of war with the banks who have charged the deed?

Hehehe @a4architect Laughing out loudly I'm not as skilful at debates...

Coming from your original query, effort was made to compensate the natives on independence. In cases where such efforts fell short (say Maasai), natives (now as citizens) can pursue further restitution with the government... which has a constitution that now recognizes their right to property and fair ownership.

Yes. Unless the bank gives them another loan. Tell me which valuer will agree to that and I show you a stupid fool.

Watafute pesa za 40x80 South B. Or they take the banks, developers, the valuers etc to court. That is their only option.

Should we now also move and build houses on Kenya high land hapo lavington since as a4 says "they are not using it currently and can relocate school to konza". Also DoD land hapo Karen and kabete since they can relocate baracks to somali border. Then later govt will sell us the land kama hawo wengine.

@jagernaut, ..ok..be the first one then you come tell us here in wazua how it panned out.

Kenya high land is being well utilised as a school.

DoD land is being well utilised as a security installation.

Kevevapi land was bare grassland without any from of utilization prior to the developments.

Land that should be alienated the same way is the veterinary lands near kangemi/loresho, betwen shade hotel karen to ngon town etc, which are bare grasslands without any form of utilization.


What should happen now is
1.create laws that help kenyans define unutilised idle public lands.
this will prevent @jagernaut from salivating at every prime piece of govt land he sees.

2. create laws to define how such lands can be allocated fairly to the public.
this will prevent @jagernaut from unfairly gaining from such lands thru bribery etc.

We can also agree that as kenyans, its impossible to create laws that people will follow and stop any further alienation of public land and maybe say that such lands can only be utilised for social functions eg schools, hospitals, prisons etc.

If the above 2 issues are not tackled, due to the high demand for land , soon, we will see a rogue NLC issue the govt lands to desperate kenyans and the story continues. Every new govt comes in and extorts the buyers ad infinitum.

Stick to issues not insulting people. Or were you there recording him dozzing off as the land was being grabbed?

On this topic I will remain as I am. Hata kama sikuenda shule, I now know at least 1 place not to get professional opinions.

Respectfully Logical.


@alma, si ati hukuenda shule, you tried your best at ADD but unfortunately thats life, real estate knowledge was just not your thing. ...relax, it happens to many not only you...


I hear you daddy. I know I failed big time in real estate when I tried to buy houses while washing dishes. It was very hard. Now I'm relaxed. I will try as much as I can to do as well as the land valuers you know. I hear they are doing very well.

Mimi, I'll just have to accept that washing dishes is also helping the economy. One time I was told that if I don't wash dishes, people will eat with dirty spoons.

From now onwards I will be taking my advise from you. I can see you have quite a lot to offer in terms of logic and experience. One day I will be like a4architect. Pray for me Wazuans.


Phew! kweli gloves are off. Pole @alma we will pray for you. Whoaa, eti you should shut up when the architect is speaking? Unbelievable!
