@ Peter Kamau The prices are up because of the illegal money floating around in Kenya. Ukweli wa mambo. How are these places developing sufficient to cost millions yet there are no proper feeder roads, sewage and water supply etc? Do you think if you sold that piece of land you'd get 3 million shillings? Capitalism is only working for a select few in Kenya. The Govt needs to do more for the people in terms of providing better housing. There are European Govts who would be happy to invest, but the level of corruption in Kenya is sickening.
I like your show with the historical background, however not sure why the county government is not being questioned on what they are doing to counter the downward spiral of these estates.
@ Kenya Moja. In the traditional African culture, land was a thing of value, however it was not commodified. It was the duty of the King to ensure there was adequate land. He held the land in trust and each man would be allocated land before he got married. In essence the land belonged to his wife because it is women who tilled the land (men herded the animals and hunted game). Land has now become commodified. Men are no longer men because they cannot even provide shelter for a woman or means to feed herself. Terrible really.
@ Peter Kamau. What is your definition of development? Most residents in these new and upcoming places have to put in their own infrastructure- water, sewage, electricity (or solar) and even tarmacked roads. at great expense to themselves. I don't call that development. Development is when the gorvenment puts in the necessary infrastructure. Housing is a human rights issue. Children should grow up in adequate and secure spaces, where they can study. There should be enough privacy so that children don't have to hear their parents engaged in grown folks business.

Never underestimate land. It's the precious thing one can own. Imagine buying land @ 50K 40 yrs later the piece cost 40Million.
Is it me or did I hear the White Old man saying that they could view Mt. Kenya and Aberdare range from Loresho? Wah, I am shaking! Get me a drink!
Two types of tribes Rich and poor
