Over 10,000 residents at Kwa Bulo area in Nyali constituency in Mombasa county want the government to come to their rescue over a land ownership raw.  

The residents are living in fear and panic after the expiry of a 41 days notice given to them by a cash strapped insurance firm to vacate the 85 acres parcel of land they had been living on.

The dispute over the controversial Kwa Bulo land started when the current Mombasa governor Hassan Ali Joho was the Kisauni legislator before  the constituency was split in two, Nyali and Kisauni constituencies in 2001.

Former Lands minister during the coalition government under retired President Mwai Kibaki, James Orengo, had visited the area and assured the residents that their land issue would be resolved.

Village elder Abdallah Show said the cash strapped Kenya National Assurance company has come out to claim ownership of the land.

He said the state corporation has dismissed residents on the land as squatters giving them the  alternative to pay land rates or vacate the land.

'The notice to pay land rates has come to us as a shock because we have been living on our ancestral land,' he pointed out.

Shamila Aziz wondered why the land saga has surfaced when the general election is around the corner and not before.

She insisted the residents are tired of being taken for a ride and in circles whenever general elections are near.

On his part, Mombasa businessman Said ‘Saido’ Abdalla said he regrets that disputes over land have become perennial in the constituency and in Mombasa county at large.

He pointed out the constituency is leading with eviction notices which have been spreading panic among the electorate ahead of this year's polls.

'To make matters worse the residents are subjected to threats of eviction if they fail to pay the land rates,' he pointed out.

The Mombasa businessman urged the  government to intervene in the land dispute in the area.

Said said he is concerned with the rising number of land disputes in the area ahead of the polls.

After over a decade of producing, recording and performing music, Africa's foremost recording afrobeats guitarist, Fiokee, releases debut album "Man'' featuring Tanzanian sensation Maua Sama, Yemi Alade among others.

On Man, Fiokee showcases his musical proficiency, not only as a guitarist, but also as a producer and A&R, selecting artists, producers both within and outside Africa, fusing genres and sounds to create this masterpiece. 

When it comes to storytelling, Fiokee’s melodies are as intentional as the lyricism of his collaborators.

From his sharp-fingered staccatos, to his legatos, down to his thrills, anytime Fiokee touches his trebly guitar, he travels down a nostalgic, or sentimental narrative.

This textbook style of music-making is the magic that is reflected in “MAN.”

On this album, Fiokee stretches the storyline from his array of commercially successful singles, such as “Sweetest Thing (featuring Ric Hassani),” to “Like (featuring Reekado Banks and Tiwa Savage),” to “Dumebi (featuring Davido and Peruzzi),” reflecting the realities intertwined in adventure, treasure or love seekers. 

The 14 track album boasts collaborations with a wide range of producers, Tuzi, Xtofa, DJ Coublon, Jaypizzle, Masterkraft, DeeYasso, Yalababayala, Nero Spark; and artists, T. Classic, Jean & Alex, Nelson Freitas, Bella Shmurda, Yemi Alade, Chike, Gyakie, Guchi, Kelvyn Boy, Ric Hassani, Klem, Peruzzi, Layydoe, The Cavemen, Umu Obligbo, Maua Sama, Lirical, Simi, Oxlade, D-Black, Sefa, Vector, Nosa and Ada Ehi, from across over Africa and beyond. 

The album is a testament to Fiokee's ability to create timeless music and is also a part of activities lined up for his 40th birthday celebration this year. 

A graduate of Mechanical Engineering from the Petroleum Institute of Engineering, Fiokee has remained a very calculative mind.

His rise-to-fame story, from his 2008 Star Quest reality TV contest, down to setting up his own record label in 2016, has been a narrative of intentionality and bravery. 

With “MAN,” Fiokee sets himself up for constant evolution, upping the ante like like-minded greats such as the Malian Ali Faka Toure, the Congolese Franco, and even Nigeria’s King Sunny Ade.

“MAN” is that playlist that never gets old, never gets tiring; its replay value is a reflection of the A&R whiz by Fiokee himself, alongside Osagie Osarenz.

The engineers, from Swaps to New Mix, to First Class Mix, down to Tuzi, Oga Smath, Namedey mixmaster and Xtraodinare are, prune this record carefully, to be delicate, unique, but still mainstream appealing.

And that is just one of its various gems.

 “MAN” is out on all digital streaming Here
