@Mutinda, from what I've seen and read, the entire kenyan story is that of historical land which has some claim attached in some way so hotspots can be anywehere. I also think that all kenyan govts have entertained the historical issues for their own use/abuse thus it has become a norm to use historical issues for the fight for free land. Rather than make land reservations as was done in other countries where endangered communities were allocated land to continue their traditonal and customary beliefs while the rest of the land belonged to the country for development and commercial purposes , the kenyan story is of hyprocrisy of the republic and land laws which clearly seem to show that there is a big disconnect between the two . Therefore, you could legally and lawfully buy a piece of land from a seller only to discover later that the fore-fathers of the land should have been the ones to okay the deal and your purchase becomes void because of historical reasons. Now you will have to deal with the relatives of the seller as to who sold the land or find yourself in a very tricky situation. I dont know what the TJRC is supposed to have done with the historical issues because clearly we have 2 situations in KE. There is the Republic and a sovereign state and then there is the land kingdoms where history dictates what belongs to whom and with its own laws. Seems we are not that sovereign in many ways. Waa......! Me amateur thots. On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 12:18 PM, Nicholas Mutinda <mutindah@gmail.com>wrote:
what the govt needs to do is to stop resettling people in hot spots and look for available land for sale. There is a lot of land for sale around kenya, why force this people in the middle of disputed land?
