The land market cliché of “willing seller-willing buyer” doesn’t always hold true. For good reasons. Those who have been to our Indian Ocean seashore must have noticed how easily motorboats from the high seas can access our coastline, giving those aboard entry into mainland Kenya.

Similarly, most of our international boundaries are rather open, save for the policed zones next to the formal border control posts. It’s so between us and Ethiopia, Uganda and even Tanzania.
