A recent story by the Daily Nation revealed some humbling statistics on the historical land injustice claims made to the National Land Commission (NLC). Of the 3,743 cases received, 2,624 of them or 65 percent are from the Coast, with 2,024 of them coming from Kilifi County alone!
Speaking during a Land Injustices Dialogue Session in Garsen, Tana River County, NLC chairman Gershom Otachi indicated that the claims from Coast are comparatively weighty since they involve large communities, while those from other areas largely involve individuals, or much smaller groups. Good luck to the commission as it decides on these cases.
