Land Grab in Progress

STOP the Land Grab... by the "authorities" for a "favoured project" from land belonging to Lenana School...

Additional News Item on the Land Grab

My comments in RED


Board had agreed to give land, says Mugo
Well, the new Board has reviewed the decision... which is NO... Lenana Students on the Board have made the difference

Story by NATION Reporter (Publication Date: 12/6/2006)


Lenana High School board had consented to give 40 acres for the construction of an education centre, Dagoretti MP Beth Mugo said yesterday.

That is 20% of the total land! Leave the school alone! Alternatively, rent the land from Lenana School but do not "grab" it!

However, the new board officials turned down the request, Mrs Mugo said.
Good for them...

The request for land was first made on April 29, last year, when President Kibaki led a tree planting exercise at neighbouring Ngong Forest.
So what? Why doesn't the kenyatta family (mugo is a member) return the STOLEN land they have acquired!

The assistant minister for Education was responding to reports that the school's management had declined to set aside part of the land for the centre.

Letter to chairman

In a letter to the board's chairman, Mr Edward Kigen, Mrs Mugo said it was imperative the decision was reversed.
Nothing is imperative. The board should hold firm! In fact the Old Boys association, among others, should gear up for a lawsuit before the land is "forcibly" excised!

The assistant minister said she was surprised the board decided to deal with the Press "while no dispute exists".
Bullshit... there is a dispute. The Press was a choice the Lenana Board had to make since theie pleas would have gone unheeded.

She added that although Lenana was a national institution, few students from the area were admitted there.
Is she an IDIOT?

Precisely, because it is a National Instition that it admits from all over the country & can't favour the "locals". Does Alliance favour those from Kikuyu?

It was not "courteous to go against a noble project such as the education centre because there is a lot of land available," the MP said.
Why doesn't the government repossess GRABBED land? This land belongs to Lenana prior to independence when the Duke of York school was established.

The school has about 200 acres. Mr Kigen had said all the land was being utilised and the board planned to build rental houses to generate income.
The land is not for sale! Period.

What is it with these bigwigs and grabbing land? There was talk of a bypass going through the land at Alliance at one point. Quick work by all concerned nipped that in the bud. For now. Until some other person comes forth and tries it again. The question asked was, how come the government, or whoever the heck does this, realised now that these two schools sit on land that can be used for their whims? Eminent domain notwithstanding, somethings just reek of land grabbing corruption! Way to go Lenana on stopping these thugs short!

This has to be nipped in the bud. I was informed that the "grabbing" machinery has been activated & the Board Members might be replaced with compliant members.

Some of the current Board Members & Council Members are Old Boys thus the pushback to the government's bullying ways.

here's an interesting argument on the land grabbing issue.

Dave - Very interesting...

Land Reform is needed but the "concept" of property rights should be paramount otherwise there are no rights.

Regarding the "stolen" property. That has to be recovered even if to show the current looters that no matter what it takes, they can't take what is not theirs.

They're at it again!!! Beth Mugo should look to her house and consider the following: donate some of the land her family "acquired" and use THAT to improve the lives of her constituents. Having witnessed the thievery of the forest surrounding Lenana School, there is no doubt that if this nefarious scheme is allowed to succeed, more demands will follow. We have alumni in high places-stop this NOW.

A lot of people ask me how I like living in Costa Rica. My answer is, it was the best decision that I made in my life. I came to Costa Rica 7 years ago on a vacation and quickly fell in love with the beauty of the country and the hospitality of the people here. I couldn't wait to come back. I started coming here about 4 times per year and always had a great time and didn't want to leave. Two years ago, I decided to leave Arizona and come live in Paradise. I can not tell you how happy I am that I made that decision. Today, I wake up next to the ocean and run on the beach every morning. I eat the most delicious fruits, vegetables and fresh seafood. My stress levels are much lower than when I was living in the States and the potential here for investing, truly is unlimited. The best part of living here is showing our clients this country. I really don't feel like I have a job for the first time in my life. The joy I receive when I see the look on people's faces when they get into the warm water of the Pacific ocean is truly priceless. For those of you that have come and discovered paradise, you know what I am talking about. For those of you that are on the way, I can't wait to get you here. And to those who are thinking about Costa Rica, please do yourself a favor and come down. You will have the time of your life.
