The government has brushed aside protests by a section of the local people of Naivasha town. The group is protesting the sale of a public forest to a private developer.
The government has said the protesters are mainly drawn from a group of jobless good for nothing youth who use the forest as a venue for smoking bhang.
The forest in question is a priced spot on the terrace of the Rift Valley which is said to have the most picturesque sunset-view in the whole of Naivasha town. From the edges of the forest, visitors can witness one of the most scenic renditions of nature as the Rift Valley stretches to the horizons beyond.
It is on this expanse that the said protesters, who mostly spot dreadlocks and exhibit Rastafarian tendencies, spend most of their evenings. When asked about why they are protesting against the sale of the land, one of the red eyed fellows chanted ‘The concrete jungle eating our jungle man!’
The government through its spokesman has said it will not give in to the whining of delinquents. Addressing a press conference, the government spokesman said that orders have already been given to the police to arrest anyone who looks like Mungiki in the area.
Sources within the government have revealed to us that the forest has been sold to Libyan investors, claims which the Libyan embassy has declined to comment on. Our source tells us that the Libyans plan to build a seven star hotel on the contested spot.
Rumors have it that this is what the Libyan president Muammar Qadafi has in mind when talks about the United States of Africa.
