Considering the fact that Kenya is mostly made up of semi-arid terrain, how ethical is it to subdivide a fertile land & sell it for real estate development. That land could have been utilized in large scale wheat production as the country always import the deficit. What’s more amusing in the article is the claim that the new ‘‘city’’ will rival Nakuru. Any Nakuru resident will tell you there is nothing to rival in the densely populated, filthy & chaotic town. But then again, people’s opinions on how he acquired that & other pieces of land across Kenya largely depends on one ethnicity; either a shrewd business-minded capitalist or a dirty land grabber who manipulated the system to defraud Kenyans.
If Kenya has to feed itself in future, then she will have to undertake land defragmentation on a massive scale. Of course water harvesting and conservation will have to be brought into the picture.
Maintaining the status quo will mean starvation for the majority who will have small pieces of barren land. Countries will limit the amount of food exported.

I stopped here. You are a gigantic nincompoop
Not necessarily. Just make it expensive to keep land idle and voila…People will sell land. And for those hoarding land to sell to GOK at exorbitant prices, it will taken and compensation done in kind. If no suitable land will be available, then uniform and predictable compensation rates will be applied.
It’s either this or we perish from hunger amid concrete jungles and barren burotis.
