# 10. Land Control Bill, 2023

The Bill seeks to repeal and replace the current Land Control Act (Cap 302) to align it within the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and other applicable laws.

·         Substantively, the Bill seeks to establish Land Control Committees in every constituency to replace the Land Control Boards. The Committees will review each proposed transaction/disposition affecting agricultural land and either approve it or disapprove. It also establishes the Land Control Appeals Committee to adjudicate appeals from the Committee within 30 days of their lodging.

·         Given that a significant amount of land in prime areas including in the suburbs and outskirts of major urban centres comprises agricultural land, it follows that this law will impact on the availability of such land for housing. By seeking to limit subdivisions of such land for sale in order to ensure good security, there may be less land available for housing which will affect prices.

At the same time, the enforcement of the law may have the opposite effect of lowering prices since it will reduce purchase of huge tracts of land by real estate companies for speculation, subdivisions of such pieces of land and subsequent sale to individuals for putting up of houses.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cahf.gitbook.io/kenya-legal-policy-and-institutional-review/annex-b-laws-policies-regulations-governing-land-assembly-acquisition-title-tenure/10.-land-control-bill-2023.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
