Social Concern: The bait and the Fish.

I reject in totality the presence of DIGUNA AIC in Kipchunu and Tulon –Nandi county has a Christian sect with benevolent intent.

It is my concern:

1. That a sect with Christian intent does not in any essence entice and evict a population of people whether living in rocks or barren land with intention to own and develop the land (why buy land and for what).
2. That a missionary group in ordinary cases seeks to build relationship with people and use the existing structures without necessarily transferring people and erecting massive structures.
3. That a Christian network does not invest in private Hydroelectric power in the remote areas to only provide service to an orphanage.
4. That a Christian or missionary group does not invest in massive permanent houses and bridges aimlessly without eyeing on some other unrelated business concerns.
5. That the privacy in which the above properties mention is engaged, sends a chilly message to those whom the wounds of colonialism are still under debridement.

It is my view and on behalf of the innocent and the illiterate, that the national and county Government should varnish the residents of these places with clear records of the existence of this organization has a missionary group and to make it public knowledge. Doing so will build trust among the people and avoids future clash related to cultural conflicts and destruction of sacred trees. There must be a clear page on what is happening and if it is business has I presume or mining, the people must benefit.

I do no hold that this organization engages in illegalities, however it is worldly that Corporate interest have used religion and ignorance to massively exploit people.

N/B There are rising cases of unusual illness among people of Kiptenden living along river Kesses and it is my challenge that the Environmental report be avail to the people so that we understand how these organizations prepares or disposes its waste.
