Legitimate landowners should be able to enjoy the use of their land without fear of encroachment, invasion or eviction. This order can only be subverted where government is absent, or dysfunctional.
Kenya must therefore protect the right to property at all times if it has to maintain its place among the civilised nations of this century. Stealing or destroying property, unauthorised entry into private land and the use of force to evict people from their land is callous and criminal.
