"content": "country where we have heard of county government officials colluding with others and taking away land, especially in prime areas. In Upper Hill, the price of an acre of land is in excess of Kshs400 million and this has been attracting criminals to rob people of their land. So, it is important for this to be clearly defined in the Community Land Act for the protection of communities in the rural areas. Another very important issue that I have noticed in the Bill is ensuring that community land is freehold. You can imagine a situation where you are born in a land and later you are told that you have to renew your lease yet that is your rural home. It is important to streamline this. I have seen the spirit of this Bill, which has captured and defined community land as free lease. I urge the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development that once the Bill is passed into law, to implement it and ensure that we sort out the issue of land once and for all."
