Did Hassan Joho touch the “third rail” of Kenyan politics: Decry “land injustices in the (coastal) region”? President Kenyatta himself offered that his family acquired close to 30,000 acres of land in the Taita-Taveta County through “will-buyer/willing-seller basis”. It also explains why Kenya cannot resolve an issue that was partly responsible for the post-election violence of 2007/8 – land ownership. The fact is, the Kenyatta family owns land outside their (arbitrary) Mt. Three years later — in 2017 — and Kenya is in the middle of yet another round of violence — also predicated on land ownership.
