Ngilu should go back to the1830s when the omani Arabs colonized the east African coast and stole land from the locals. For instance, the Mazrui family owns over 200,000 acres at the coast which was allocated to them by the sultan of zanzibar during those days. Infact many absentee landlords residing in Oman and Yemen still own huge tracts of land given to them by the sultan.
Ngilu should also look at how the Portuguese acquired the land where they built fort Jesus in1591. That land where the fort stands should be given back to the original owners.
She should also go back to1500BC and see how the miji kenda migrated from the Congo/Cameroon and stole lands from indigenous hunter gatherer communities at the coast. The miji kenda should thus surrender all the land they stole at the coast.
