Gov will buy land cheaply - and compulsorily - to settle squattors - from Kenyatta and absentee landlords.

[Nowayhaha]

This was the language which got Raila 44% of Kenyan voters.
Im in Coast Kilifi and Mombasa. Apparently Ruto is winning in Kilifi with slightly Majority for His Presidwntial seat and Mp seats.
In Mombasa Sonko is winning hands down , funny enough even Luos have a soft spot for Sonko. Mijikendas are with Sonko. There is a real vibe against arab swahilis .
With this language Ruto might turn Coast to UDA. In 5 years he will be kingpin of Mijikenda.

[RV Pundit]

Kilifi and Mombasa are big ones in coast...both accounting nearly a million of registered votes - with others contributing very little;
He has to be smart about it;
Go to Coast alone;
Distance himself from Kenyattaism;
Attack Kenyatta at coast;
Leave Gachagua to handle RV+GEMA
Leave maDVD+Weta to deal with Western.
Then Ruto should focus on battleground and pin Raila down because he is now pro-gov/pro-kenyatta

One thing coming out clear is that Giriamas have a problem with Kenyatta.
They elected Kibaki against Uhuru in 2002 and Kibaki got a substantial number of votes against Raila in 2007. The votes evaporated when Uhuru vied against Raila in 2013 and 2017. And there you get the hint of whats their pysche.
In Kilifi majority of the land is now owned by tycoons and Arab swahilis forming a big junk of them. Hence why Nassir candidature is having a problem. Now without Kenyatta factor or lets say Raila being Kenyattas candidate hapo kura will evaporate once again. With the current Propaganda against Ports and land a 2002 might happen again.

Yes Kenyatta helped himself to beach plot with his folks;
Plus of course land in Taita Taveta
and Lamu
So it hot potato that target Arabs and Kenyattas

[GeeMail]

Echo chamber. Pole sana. Why give promise when he has big Taveta and other land he can give hasola already? Can he handle a fund?

I should probably give you a prize for your deadly one line retorts UDA bots are plenty everywhere you look online

Ruto is a man who's out of favor with the establishment, he has nothing to lose, Raila will keep his mouth shut, the stakes are high.

[Nowayhaha]

Ruto knows whats in stake he can dish out that piece of land in Taveta . But can Kenyatta do the samenfor their pieces of land in Taita Taveta , Kiambu Nairobi  and Nakuru ? You are being played and it seems you dont know.

[Githunguri]

Ruto is playing a dangerous game.

Let us look at the coastal  region alone that is Taita Kilifi and Kwale and Lamu counties alone...Maybe 500,000 acres.If we give each acre an average valuation of 600,000 per acre that is a total of 350 Billion.

Where will he get the 350BN to finance that scheme?Is he going to borrow from the Chinese or who?

How will those farmers pay those loans?Which bank will finance them?What cash crop will they grow?

What will be the criteria of giving title deeds to the recipients?What will be the maximum acre given to each individual?

That is coast region alone about 500k acres,What about Nakuru Kajiado Narok counties?

Ruto will overvalue the land,pay the land owners peanuts while pocket the huge cut and give land to his recipient's like  weta n Madvd..

Majority of land owners in Kenya are ex president ministers service men police drug barons mercenaries...When you forcefully take their stolen property..that is WAR.Such crazy ideas of forceful acquisition of illegal wealth leads to Haiti or Liberia situation of coups counter coups and war.

Land issues are very emotive.

[RV Pundit]

Let's wait for the details in the manifesto. But if using same model like of 1960s - but this time to take land from kenya colonial land owner - then gov doesnt have to spend much. Gov remember can buy land cheaply. 200k is more than enough - in fact even 100K per acre - which is equal to lease of 10k per year for 10 or 20yrs. These are mostly rural lands.

Gov just need to float long term bond for this...private sector contribute money...and wait for peasant to pay them annually....with gov as the gurantor.

Something like a land bank - but generally we cannot have coast kind of situation where million sit on land they dont own - and cannot do any serious development - because some absentee arab landlord is not there.

If we did in 1960s - we can do it in now - with more positive results. People eventually paid for the land - as money was not free but low interest loan lasting  20yrs.

If 1960s a million acre settlement scheme plan helped kikuyus, luhyas, kalenjin and gusii to settle in British land - the same can help coastarians settle in Arab land - gov acquires the land complusorily and give them cheap long term loans. We sort out land issue completely. The idle land owned by idle investor become active. Kenyatta and Criticos will have to sell land cheaply to gov - and Taita will be settled into it. That kenyatta idle land I bet is 100k per acre - average stamp duty in those areas will show up.

Laikipia - same problem of few barons owning 100k of acres - give Maasai that land as loan. Animal conservancies can go drying\
Taita - same problem - btw criticos and kenyattas - too much idle land
Kwale - to Lamu - same problem
Nakuru - settle Mau evictees in Moi and Kenyatta land
Kiambu, Machakos and Nairobi metro - give the land to chinese to build urban units.
Kenyatta will be forced to sell cheaply their thousands of illegally acquired land.

That will solve Land Problem in Kenya.

What is the definition of IDLE LAND?

This thing of idle land is overtaken by events.If you go Kenyatta or Kibaki land 100,000 acres in Kiambu Nakuru and Laikipia Northlands Gichecha Mwalimu farms they sell hay worth between 1BN and 10BN Kenya shilling per year,Is that idle land?

If you go to coastal like in taita kilifi...you find these people farming sisal and pineapple bringing in hundreds of millions while the rest is hay for their cattle.You just even need to start a nursery for trees and plant trees all over.

If you go to Moi stolen forest lands..they plant tea I think in Mau..I don't know..tens of thousands of acres.

Ruto illegally acquired murumbi land,criticos 10000 acres and used tender kickback to build over 1000 apartments all over Kenya and godowns in every major trade route while giving it to Muteshi raw.

This whole thing is just to get votes..Anything beyond that is ABSOLUTE NONSENSE being justified by a paid bloggers.

Peasant need that land; Kenyatta can go buy land in Europe or America; they are cheap; if not Congo or Uganda or Tanzania or Ghana; lots of cheap land for the moneyed; none for the peasants.

Way to go. Common sense has evaded us for too long.

Land is the most important factor of production for agrarian societies.

Would work even for food security. It is madness that we are crying of food prices with maize, wheat, rice imports. It is madness. Everyone has become a struggling hawker living very undignified living.
