Land (Amendment) Act 2025 The Land (Amendment) Act, 2025, seeks to amend the Land Act to provide for the registration of public land and land set aside for public purpose. Quick link: The Bill stipulates that a public institution or body shall apply to the Registrar of Lands for registration of land allocated to it by the National Land Commission. The Registrar of Lands is also empowered by the proposed legislation to register land set aside for a public purpose following a proposed development plan. Upon registration, the Registrar issues a Certificate of Title in the name of either the public entity, the Cabinet Secretary to the National Treasury as trustee (where the land is owned by an unincorporated public entity) or the County Government, as applicable. Currently, title documents are not issued in respect of public land and this has facilitated the grabbing of such parcels of land by private individuals. The Bill seeks to cure this mischief which is a commendable move. Particularly in relation to the provision of housing, land earmarked by the government for the development of affordable housing/ institutional housing units will be protected from land grabbers. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

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/16.-land-amendment-act-2025.md?ask=&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.
