@mkenyan, online arguments are just that, arguments,and not cast in stone, and without solid factual basis since we can only argue from what we read in the media. Real hard realities of life, court arguments/court orders etc are a different issue altogether as has currently transpired so whether the commissioner of lands was right, wrong,whether the initial companies are available to compensate etc becomes hypotheses and in the end, whatever comes out as a win win should take over. Of course the house buyers can continue with whichever lines of argument they might have, but clearly, they are on the loosing end since its them to loose if ministry of agric continues demolitions like it had started.

if it was me i would sue mr. mburu then he would look for however sold him the property and rope him in if he wishes. i won't bother with anyone else apart from mr. mburu. in the meantime as i sue him i would pay the government its due for the land, accept and move on. so when i finally get mr. mburu to pay me at least i get my money back and i still have my house.
