Subject: Cholmondley VS Njoya, Historical injustices continues?
Bandura,
And this shamba of Cholmondley, is it not part of historical injustices?
Could it have been that the man killed in that farm was struggling to feed a family where grabbed land squeezed them into a corner to try and fend for themselves yet a man wileding a gun and owning thousands of acres of land not his by culture, tradition history or otherwise hunts game for fun while Njoya was hunting the sdame game for survival?

Fred, God knows why you are not a judge. Perhaps you would have caused more harm. What was this man doing in someone’s shamba? He knows the boundary and they keep on trespassing despite all the warnings. I guess you do allow people into your house or shamba without permission and you have reported to the authorities and nothing seems to be done and the harm continues. Let us be rational and not emotive. Look at both sides of the issue and stop being too judgemental. I still respect your views, Fred.

Hi Robert,
Cholmondley should not be set free he was supposed to be charged with murder case. I think what he has done to Kenyans need a serious trial, imagine the widow is left without a husband no one to care for the children this is a sad story. I wish I was the judge.

With all respect I beg to take this soberly. I believe none of us knows what happened from the genesis of the incident to date. It would be quite unfair for us to judge when we do not have all the facts. One thing that we as Kenyans need to learn is not to be too greedy. The fact that Lord Delamare had a big piece of land does not meant hat we go trespassing in it with impunity. I still want to maintain here with experience that Kenyans have no respect for other people’s property and feel that the injustices that we experience is to be blamed on any person who seems to have something. That is why we are still mugged right and left to the extent that you feel insecure even in broad daylight. The Delamares have efficiently used the shamba thay posses, producing food in the middle of dry land. We know of people who have huge chunks of land that are lying fallow but because they are black kenyans nobody disturbs them. Is that fair? The people who border the said farm are very well aware of the boundaries but still use excuses of poverty, deprivement and landlessness to encroach on it. They interfer with the operations of the farm and even go there to poach animals. As much as that is true, I do not condone any killing at all but say we need to prove our cases in court and not be too emotive, just because the victim is a poor man and a black African. That is what has been doing the rounds that a Mzungu has killed a black Kenyan. Do we ever think of the losses and the inconvenience the latter do to estate owners? No, we just become emotive and demand justice that is one sided and not think of the motive behind any deed. Those are my thoughts.

It looks like Justice Apondi will set Cholmondley free. The killer is likely to walk free as he is buying his way through.
Police has already said his rifle was not used and the assesors says that Tom didnt kill. But Justice APondi will deliver a ruling today.
If he is set free, it so sad that a killer will be set free just coz he is child of a “LORD”.
