Residents of Lamu County, facing long-standing disputes over ancestral land—often compounded by lost title deeds and the risk of eviction—may soon find a more defined route to justice. The National Land Commission (NLC) is proposing new regulations aimed at addressing historical land injustices. Specifically, the draft National Land Commission (Historical Land Injustices) Regulations, 2026, offer a framework for reviewing and resolving these claims. The regulations are expected to provide a clearer legal process for those seeking to reclaim their land rights in Lamu County. This development represents a potential turning point for communities who have struggled for decades with unresolved land grievances. The proposed rules seek to address issues stemming from past land allocations and dispossession within the region. These regulations could offer a pathway to secure land tenure and prevent further displacement in Lamu County.
