As leaders, how can we persuade the landlords to stand with their tenants at this particular period of COVID-19 when the Government is leading in showing a bad example by demolishing houses in Keroka Town in Nyamira County and the rest of this country. This nonsense should stop and the report should reach the President. I do not think the President is aware of the things which are happening to the people. If he is aware, then it is a great shame to our country leadership because we should come out strongly to protect our people. We might be underrating the long-term effects of the same.
