Aki now how can we sacrifice a national park because of a private property which can be re-located.

May the government move fast to demolish the so said 'most photographed house in Africa', if the owner cannot accept compensation.

The National Park is more a national treasure than this property. How many cities have National Parks?

The house can be rebuild and the artifacts are not 'cemented' deep inside the ground.

Thot the hse is in the N. Park. Will those who stole the road reserve compensate the govt?

Now that its "the most photographed in Africa" there are already enough recorded memories for those who haven't seen it before. Anyway, justice should prevail.

@Maka, The so called developed world should not be a reference point on such matters. They did worse things- Slavery, forceful displacements of populations ( read red Indians), racial discrimination among many other inhuman treatments early in their development stage.

When we have all the roads, railways, bridges etc that we need, then for new ones we can then debate where it will pass. For now, wacha hiyo nyumba ienda. It has already been photographed enough for reference.
