Demolitions must help stop impunity and set a new beginning for the nation

The ongoing demolition of buildings in and around riparian land is a commendable attempt at restoring the sanity of a country that was fast losing her soul. The nobility of the exercise should not in any way be cushioned by frivolous court orders by those in the wrong.

The courts should also not entertain moves by the corrupt to sanctify their names within the corridors of power. We are at a turning point as a country. And what we do now may define the path of our country for years to come. Because of this, those charged with the mandate to rid our rivers off of encroachers, free our road reserves from the clutches of the corrupt should stand firm and act without fear or favour.
