Communities in Wajir County are urged to register their land to safeguard their rights against land grabbing and ensure participation in resource decisions. The Kenya Land Alliance (KLA) highlights that many residents are unaware their land has been gazetted.

• The KLA CEO, Faith Allube, stated that six sub-counties in Wajir have been gazetted, with residents in three areas unaware of this development.
• Wajir possesses a large portion of community land in Kenya, but registration is significantly delayed due to historical marginalization, limited resources, and inadequate awareness among pastoralist communities.
• Registration is crucial for protecting unregistered land from exploitation and irregular allocation, empowering communities to negotiate with investors and enhancing their role in land governance.
