Resettling of squatters a noble venture

Last Friday’s edition of ‘The Standard’ reported that the Government will resettle 18,000 squatters on a 15,000-acre piece of land in Solio Ranch, Laikipia East District.

This is a commendable move. Although coming four decades after independence when thousands have died in abject poverty, it must be supported.

But the allegations of fraud in the process must be addressed to ensure the rich do not profit unjustly at the expense of the poor.
