Why are people praising Kibaki eti he fought land grabbing? The Vice continued unabated during his reign and I do not recall him making any public statements against land grabbing except when he was pushed into doing it when Ruto was grabbing land for water towers. By the way how difficult is it really to fight land grabbing? Am I missing something or could UK easily have put a swift end to the Langata primary saga instead of waiting until it was chaos?
Anyway the more I think of it, the more I want to praise Boniface Mwangi. Thank you for eschewing sycophancy and fighting for the primary school children. Looks like others are now inspired. This action of
defiance by Boniface Mwangi and langata school children could be turning point in the issue of land grabbing just as the action of
defiance by Orengo, Shikuku and Muliro disobeying police orders and storming Kamkunji in 1991 was a turning point that helped end one party rule. It may be the catalsyt needed for land grabbing to be seriously addressed.
Lets face it: If Boniface Mwangi had not applied those tactics, that langata primary land would have been fenced off and we would here on wazua sulking about another land grab. As someone said above, the end justifies the means.
