The land question in Kenya is an extremely vexed matter. What has been happening is a president under some pressure or in need of a "weapon" to fight perceived or real enemies using land grabbing as an easily available tool. Like the Building Bridges Initiative — which has nothing new but a mere platform for political machinations — the land question is resurfacing but with no reference to the well-documented historical land grabbing cases. This is done conveniently to hoodwink the gullible masses and project certain earmarked individuals as land grabbers. Otherwise, any knee-jack approach will merely be a poor and desperate attempt at political blackmail.
