HISTORICAL LAND INJUSTICE.
Sometimes I pity the common unlearned citizens. You know how in the spiritual realms they tell you. The Devil is a lier. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. Then they postulate, the Devil will deceive you and seduce you.
I am talking about something else. Not spending my energy and bundles talking about the Devil. I hardly mention the Devil in my prayers and if unknowingly I do, then albeit once or at most twice. It is because it's a complete waste of words.
There is this dogma called, HISTORICAL INJUSTICES, particularly land injustices. When talking about historical land injustices. We are not talking about private land or individual inherited land. We are talking about communal land and public land.
Well am not writing a paper on this subject. I'm merely pointing out that historical land injustices is an elephant a queen ant cannot carry using it's limbs. You cannot solve land injustices dating to colonial era by dishing one or two titledeeds to individual land owners.
A good example is the white highlands from where fertile arable lands were designated to the white settlers and farmers. Another example is where huge chunks of land were irregularly acquired or alienated after the departure of the imperialists.
These huge blocks of land belongs to communities, who are the rightful owners. Consequently giving people their rightful and legally owned land does not constitute an attempt towards solving the land morass. Nobody should be deceived like the Devil does daily to God's children to sway them to eternal damnation, that by spending little to obtain your legally deserved land title, you are a beneficiary of the solution to historical land injustice.
In fact, you have no problem at all, save for historical land problem. If you have already undergone the necessary procedures of getting a land title or your land has been surveyed as it behoves the government to do so, then it is not a privilege for the government to give you your title. It is now your right and an obligation of the government to expeditiously process your title. It is not a favour to the one getting the title because the land is his/ hers.
Processing titles is a function of the government so that when the president takes the title from the ministry of land and brings it to your premise instead of you going for it, it does not a mount to tackling land issue. On the opposing hand, it amounts to, abuse of office. It is not upon the president to waste valuable time taking land titles to land owners and awarding them like certificates.
So long as the TJRC report on land is not implemented, Kenyans will have to wait for a new Dawn of responsible governance. Leaders with good will to settle historical oppression once for all. So that the beautiful country can move forward united in love, peace and harmony.
Although historical land injustices is a hot potato. The potato must be eaten. Ask me "Jakabondo" how to eat a hot potato, it's as easy as abc. No matter how hot, you can still eat it.
The secret to eating a hot potato is simple. You place it in your mouth, Suspend it in a manner it does not hit the corners of your mouth. Then from inside exhale air and blow onto the potato, allowing the warm air to escape your mouth.
I mean land is sharply divisive but it urgently required redress to pave way for forging ahead. Giving of Title deeds by the president does not arrest the land problem. It does not even touch it. It is just PR where " Rais anajisusha kufanya kazi ya watu wake wa mkono."
