Our laws are not applied equally

Posted Monday, October 19 2009 at 17:22

Kenya is indeed a land of inequality. It’s a land where we have laws for the poor and for the rich. 

It’s difficult for anyone to understand the reasons behind the buy-back by the government of grabbed land.

We can only read fishy deals in the whole process. We should be told why the poor land grabbers in the Mau Forest cannot be compensated also. 

Why should it be easy to repossess land from the poor and very hard to do so from the rich? This inequality can breed rebellion in society.
