FULL TEXT – President Uhuru’s Statement on Langata Land Grab

I am disappointed at what happened at Langata Road Primary School. Action will be taken against the Ministry of Lands and the National Land Commission officials for failing to address the Langata Road Primary School land issue until it got out of hand resulting to the protest yesterday. Government officials must take their duties seriously. While action will be taken against the police who tear-gassed protesting pupils, the head teacher of the school should also answer questions about the incident. How could he allow young children under his care to behave the way they did? Even when we want to protest, we must do it in a civilized manner and not involve children.
