    "content": "tomorrow. We keep crying here with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. about Solai Dam that killed many Kenyans. We keep trying, but nothing seems to be done because of the level of impunity. The other day in my county we had some millers, Mombasa Millers, who have leased railway land and the lease is valid for another eight years. The county government just come in, burnt everything down and repossessed the land despite them having a legitimate lease. The level of impunity across the country is insane. Since nobody is personally held liable, that is why some people will do whatever they want to do regardless of the law. More so, just from a little research here, it seems there was a court order restraining police officers from evicting these 5,000. When the Government is evicting people in contempt of a court order, then there is a problem. It is a pity this keeps on happening. We have seen contempt of court orders, time and again, and nothing happens. We talk here, keep moving on, but nothing happens. That is why they keep on evicting families with children at a time of a pandemic and when the weather is cold outside. I can only imagine what it must be like for these families outside. We also have the Ministry of Health guidelines at this time where people are supposed to stay home. So, when it is the same Government destroying homes and people are thrown out, it just begs the question as to what really is going on in this country."
