NAIROBI, Kenya — The government has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the National Land Commission (NLC), describing the institution as a critical enabler of infrastructure development, industrialisation and other strategic projects that underpin Kenya’s economic transformation.
The commitment was made during a meeting held in Karen, Nairobi City County, bringing together the NLC Chairperson, Commissioners and the Commission’s Chief Executive Officer to discuss priority policy and budgetary interventions needed to support the Commission in delivering its constitutional mandate.
During the meeting, it was noted that the National Land Commission plays a central role in facilitating major infrastructure projects, industrial development initiatives and other programmes that drive national economic growth.
The discussions also highlighted the need for continued collaboration among the national government, county governments and public institutions to create an enabling policy environment for the Commission.
It was emphasised that, like other constitutional commissions and independent offices, the NLC requires adequate financial resources and institutional support to effectively discharge its constitutional responsibilities.
The meeting focused on identifying priority policy reforms and budgetary measures aimed at enhancing the Commission’s capacity to manage public land, facilitate development projects and improve service delivery.
The government reiterated its commitment to working closely with the National Land Commission to ensure it has the resources and support necessary to fulfil its constitutional mandate and contribute to Kenya’s long-term economic development.
