"content": "I look at the comparison between London and Nairobi. London has an area of 2.9 kilometre squared and Nairobi has 696 kilometre squared, yet London has a population of 8.9 million and Nairobi has 4.4 million. When you drive through London, you see lots of greenery, sporting fields and clubs for the elderly. Where have we gone wrong? We have the area and we do not have that kind of population. However, we grab all the land. For the Government to cater for the elderly and the youth, we need to claim back most of the land that was grabbed by the previous political leaders. We also have to look at the land that we gave to a lot of people. The church is also guilty of having a lot of unutilised land that they speculate on and put up office blocks. We can reclaim the land and create amenities for the old people. We have to respect our old. We are all heading in that direction. A nation is judged by the respect it gives to the elderly. Kenya has a big problem."
