@alma, kevevapi can go to other lands to produce their agricultural products and still maintain the same productivity level.Their productivity is not tied to the said land. On the other hand, the house owner's productivity is tied to the same land and have no option to relocate and still achieve same productivity.

a4 is on about the grand scheme the bigger picture, a4 agriculture sustains the national budget and the economy substantially and i would imagine that an unhealthy livestock population would harm our economy a great deal, dairies in kenya depend on healthy cows for good milk yields, meat producers depend on healthy livestock, same goes for everything that we consume coming out of livestock.
If we were to have an unhealthy livestock population due to lack of vaccines as a result of lack of capacity by the concerned authority to develop such vaccines to keep livestock healthy,the spiral effect if such a situation issued on our rock would be catastrophic, government revenue plummet, much of the population would suffer diet deficiencies resulting in an emaciated work force that cant perform well resulting in a strangled economy.
My take above is a highly plausible hypothesis, all because of corrupt government officials who stole land set aside for vaccine development and built illegal structures on of which some are supporting in the name of better land use in utter disregard of the law and ethics.
Kenya's all round growth will always be handicapped by such mentality.

I think we have alot of land to the south and SE of nairobi ie mombasa rd, athi river, kitengela, lukenya that developers can utilize. Everyone doesn't have to live within 5km radius from CBD.

Facts are govt is complaining someone has taken its land, facts are some "professionals"are supporting the land grabbers by being economical with the truth and pointing people to cost of construction and stories of national economy. Facts are the rule of law, morals of right and wrong are being swept under the carpet as we are told of nice buildings costing xx amount of money. Facts are when one mentions morals, rule of law, right or wrong he becomes unsensible and inmature in a debate.

If what we have are professionals who think that breaking the law is good for the economy why then wonder when houses fall on people?

If you can break such a basic law as not selling fake title deeds what can stop the same fellow from being economical with the quality of cement he's using in your house.

Professionals failed Kenyans a long time ago. That is why they like saying gov't this gov't that.

I can vouch and promise that for every land law broken in Kenya, the following "professionals" are involved

an architect, a land developer, a valuer, a banker, a lawyer, a quantity surveyor, an engineer. These are the corrupt Kenyans. Saw if you hear that your kaplot somewhere is gone, go to these guys.

Don't listen to this nonsense that a4 is spewing here.

Someone stole land. Some "professionals" aided and abetted the crime. The silly investor must suffer. The rest of us must listen and learn and not make the same mistakes.

I promise you a4, try that kind of stuff in massachussets and we shall find you under the sea tied with cement. People in the world don't joke with land the way Kenyans do.

Return the stolen land first then we can have arguments about land use. A debate which I can assure you an architect cannot win against a land economist.

For now I'm utterly disgusted by the blatant disregard for basic laws of nature, man and the country by a "professional".
