he is foolish man but because he is young - he can be excused if he realises that he has erred! Wazee kama Muthama ndio hawawezi saidika.

[disclaimer - I am not speaking for Uhunye]
What is our obsession with land? hii kitu ni kama mdomo wa nyoka... meno zimepoint ndani once imeuma hakuna reverse gear! since these things are rather difficult let's start with things that can be implemented.
1. how much land is unadjudicated? can people be given land they are living on? can title deeds be given to people who are living on land? can we start looking at land as a resource rather than property?
2. who says the migration that brought the Nilotes from the north using the nile and the Bantus east and from the south has ended? right now the speed of migration should be accelerated due to infrastructure e.t.c. What normally disappoints me with the people from the coast is that they believe that they can only make a living at the coast! check out wahindi they are everywhere and making money at that! wangejifanya kukaa india... hmmm!

I suspect you misunderstood me - my beef is not with @tycho's ilk (the poor people) but rather with Uhunye's ilk (the rich people) that hoard lots and lots of land that could have otherwise become the primary resource for many. However private property is private property... funny thing do you know that CNN's Ted Turner owns more than 2 million acres? I digress! Our solution should be based on reality - you cannot deprive something that they own legally unless it's for 'public good' e.g. roads, mines , schools e.t.c. but you can force them to sell if the land is not being meaningfully used. but since all these are things that are being expected from the political class (laws e.t.c.) we need to do what is in our control i.e. migrate! find yourself a better life elsewhere!

Let me state forthrightly - I am not for equality of wealth but rather for equality of opportunity and that is why I advocate for free education at the cost of the tax payer coz and educated populace is good for the public (cc @tycho). So dangling poverty at my face and saying 'poor' people are sleeping hungry will not cut it - this is not a socialist state!

Who says that you need to have your own in politics to make it? there is an ethnic group in Kenya that has never had one of it's own in Power, neither as a minister and very few MPs but does not have poor people.... it's not the Kikuyu... nor is it the Kalenjin... ni wahindi!

First Ted Turner live in USA a country with an average of 2 cars per a household and average employement of over 93% and household income of apprx $53,000; No one farm for food in USA. Majority of people don't even want to own land because land is not important to their livelihood so let's not compare USA to Kenya.

The problem with issue of Land in Kenya is, people with big track of Land did not buy it or atleast they used their influence to obtain it and people with big track of land are one who control decision making on issues of Land; so it's a complicated matter.

I think you're a little or alot out of touch, no one is dangling poverty at you face, it's the reality, people are struggling, I don't beleieve in socialism nor equality of wealth, but a country is always better when everyone is doing better and don't get me wrong, I have done pretty good for myself but I know people in my village that never had an opportunity.
