"content": "There are rumours and people would like to get clarification on the same matter. We normally hear that the land has been leased for many years, yet we know that it used to belong to the people living in those particular areas. When they were displaced during the colonial period, most of them became landless. Now they live in the Mau Region. When their land is leased again for another 99 years, it becomes a problem to all of us. The worst part is that the leasing was not done after revaluation of the land and the rates they used are not even known to the community. We demand to know those who leased that particular land without public participation by the communities surrounding those particular places. After leasing that land to different landlords, they came with a different agenda. Most of them started planting flowers instead of the usual crops like tea which used to employ many people and it has rendered so many people jobless. Those of us living around those places are feeling bad."
