Blood, tears and death. This is the agony the battle for land has brought Kenyans – rich and poor, in rural as well as urban settings – over the last few months.

It is a sad tale of power politics, raw greed and splashing of money, culminating in bloody killings as players in this dirty and shameful game pull out all the stops to clinch the top prize – land.
