OF MPEKETONI AND NORTH KISII CHEPTOBOT HISTORICAL INJUSTICES When fire burnt in Mpeketoni, Lamu, many Kenyans woke up in shock, sympathy and empathy alike only to learn of it as one in many of the state-anchored historical post-colonial injustices. When the father authored, the son provided an epilogue of hurriedly state-managed processing and issuance of teeds. Back at home questions abound how the Kisii crossed the vast. Western Province from Southern Nyanza and acquired a huge track of Marakwet land in Trans Nzoia. And how were they isolated discriminately and issued with teeds while the surrounding population didnt benefit from the treatment? Was it therefore tribally inclined? Many a time the Cohesion Commission has selectively applied specific provisions of the Constitution to justify or regularize such historical injustices to the detriment of other Kenyans. Kwani haki za Wakenya wengine ni za binadamu na za Wakenya wengine ni za wanyama nyani? A peoples silence is neither submission nor satisfaction. The writer of this piece implores the State/Government to consider Cheptobot alongside Lamu land conflict.
