Tana River residents not consulted on Qatar land lease

The Government’s decision to lease land in the Tana River Delta to Qatar is another manifestation of the State’s inconsistency relating to the development and future of the delta and its residents.

It is a reflection of bad governance and a Government that is insensitive and unresponsive to the democratic rights and civil liberty of the indigenous coastal communities, who have occupied and used land in the delta since time immemorial.
