Do Kipsongo people have rights?

When you have a roof over your head please be grateful. There are people who have very little to call their own.
I am sorry but for the first time I thought the residents were not Kenyans until they showed me their IDs. They even voted in the last election. They even have a sitting Member of Parliament as a neighbour. But yet, Kipsongo remains forgotten; the residents sad and desolate. They are known as beggars in Kitale town. They are associated with societal evils and underage prostitution in the name of living is no foreign reference.
Even the council does not think about them and so the services that should be rightfully provided to them are visibly lacking. It is sad that their land has now been sold to a private developer to construct an ultra-modern residential facility while the residents of Kipsongo are secluded in the bushes of Kitalale 15Km from town.
These people were obviously pastoralists who had lost their livelihood from drought and conflict and they moved in to the city. They rely on the menial and manual wage jobs in Kitale town. They have to walk to town to fend for themselves. Their shelter is totally deplorable. They have no sanitation facilities. Solid waste from upmarket residential areas of Kitale is still dumped in the region they settle. To date the sight of a resident of Kipsongo is associated with poverty. They are unable to pronounce the good they have seen since settling in the village.
What keeps these neglected Kenyans living? Stay with me to find out.
