it has nothing to do with acreage (HOW MUCH). it has everything to do with... HOW the land was acquired. Kama hiyo shamba ya kaka yake alipata kwa njia mbaya - arudishe! but asirudishe kwa sababu ni mingi. spot on. still wonder if it is possible for one to get that much acreage without ensuring that at least due process is followed and the legal formalities met. and wonder if the president has powers to revoke title to land - remember at least one case where the courts disagreed with that revocation stance. I want to see who has the balls to go to court over this, the whole process was flawed, was the national land commission present to hand this public land? The new constitution was in place 62
