📻 Breaking It Down

The Commission said feedback gathered through ongoing public participation forums across the country would help establish a fair and robust framework for investigating and resolving longstanding land grievances.

The forums are reviewing the Draft National Land Commission (Investigation of Historical Land Injustices) Regulations, 2026, which seek to improve how historical land claims are filed, investigated, determined and resolved.

NLC Commissioner Mary Seneta, who chairs the Historical Land Injustices Committee, said community experiences and stakeholder recommendations were critical to developing lasting solutions.

Speaking at the ACK Amani Conference Centre during a public participation forum involving representatives from Nakuru and Nyandarua counties, Seneta said the Commission was committed to working with communities and other stakeholders to promote land justice, reconciliation and peaceful coexistence.

She urged members of the public to participate fully in the review process and provide accurate, relevant information to guide the proposed regulatory and legislative changes.

“The information that NLC collects from these sittings is crucial. It will help the Commission determine longstanding land disputes and ensure peace and stability among the affected parties,” she said.

Seneta, who was accompanied by Commissioners Vincent Kigen and Mohammed Haji, said the newly constituted Commission had inherited a substantial backlog of historical land injustice claims and was working to resolve them.

Nakuru Deputy Governor David Kones urged the Commission to prioritise longstanding land disputes affecting communities across the region.

He cited Dundori, Solai, Kiptangwany, Elementaita, Maiella, Nessuit, Mauche, Soin and Subukia among areas requiring attention.
