Understanding the Landscape of Agricultural Land Disputes in Kenya
Agricultural land disputes in Kenya often arise from issues related to ownership, boundaries, inheritance, land rights under Article 40 of the Constitution of Kenya, and conflicts stemming from historical land adjudication processes. The Land Laws (Amendment) Act, 2016, and the Environment and Land Court Act, 2011, are central to resolving these conflicts. Disputes can involve challenges to title deeds, claims of adverse possession, issues related to land subdivision, leases governed by the Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act (Cap. 301), or conflicts arising from county government land policies. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates is well-versed in the nuances of these disputes, including those involving community land under the Community Land Act, 2016.
