The National Land Commission (NLC) has mandated that all Kenyan government agencies develop comprehensive 20-year Land Use and Management Plans (LUMPs) to govern public land.

• All public agencies must prepare and submit these plans for approval.
• This initiative by the NLC aims to combat land grabbing, encroachment, and underutilization of public assets.
• The new guidelines require plans to include land inventories, environmental safeguards, and dispute resolution mechanisms, with plans subject to NLC approval within 30 days of submission.
