Just as distinctive and unique as is everybody’s wife, so is personal land.
No two parcels of land are ever the same just as no two wives or partners are ever the same.
Some wives are tall whilst others are short. Some are blooming and bountiful while others, regrettably, are barren.
Some are post-wall whilst others are pre-wall and sweeter than sungush just as some land may be virgin, fallow and very fertile. But all are loved and cherished by the title-holder nevertheless.
What is the point I am belabouring to deliver? - It is the fact that both marriage and land are sacrosanct.
They are also both inviolate. Any interference in one’s land, known as encroachment, or any unfaithfulness in marriage, known as promiscuity, is a desecration recognised and often sanctioned and punished by our laws.
That is the lengths and breadth, the nitty-gritty of land ownership universally.
Unless JSKS intends to introduce a new previously unknown land policy like his ancestor and tribe-mate, Arap Moi, with his “Nyayo Philosophy”, this has been the norm since Hammurabi’s times.
So, the question is, does Hulliam want to get us out of synchronicity with property ownership rules worldwide or is he justifying his grabiosis?
Secondly, his recommendation into how to solve land disputes is not a panacea but a recipe for unnecessary chaos, violence and deaths:
Pray, tell, how do you get an encroacher-grabber and an innocent victim to peacefully sit down and deliberate on how to share equitably the grabber’s loot and pillage?
In this arrangement, whose terms and conditions carry the day?
