  A majority of pieces of land in Kenya today, especially in rural areas, are still registered in names of grandparents or parents who are heading towards their sunset.   Some of the pieces of land are also still under the names of parents or relatives who have already died which means family members/relatives own the land jointly, with every one having his/her portion, but they don’t have an official document to show they independently own that piece of land they were allocated.   As much as some people urge that jointly owning a piece of land will help reduces cases of one of the family members selling off his/her portion, it is advisable to engage in land succession and registration to individual owners to avoid conflicts.   So what’s the process of land succession?

Many people are today investing in purchasing land – be it for real estate development (for those in urban areas) or for agricultural purposes, mostly in rural areas. If you are an investor looking to put your money into real estate development or agriculture, you need to be aware of how land is classified – based on the current laws – especially after the promulgation of the 2010 constitution. The 2010 constitution accelerated efforts to instil reforms in the land sector in the country, leading to the introduction of a number of new laws governing the sector for among others administration, use as well as management of land in Kenya.

  Eldoret town has a rich history – from its origin, naming and how it came into existence. For starters, Eldoret is a name derived from a Maasai word ‘Eldare’ which means ‘stony river’ in reference to the bed of the Sosiani River that runs through the town. Originally, the town was to be named ‘Eldaret’ but a spelling error led to it being named ‘Eldoret’ and the name stood up to date – as nobody bothered to fix the error. Eldoret town, which is today the headquarters of Uasin Gishu County was established in the midst of farms that were established by 58 families of Afrikaners who had been displaced from South Africa. The families had travelled to Mombasa, Kenya, by sea, then used rail to travel to Nakuru before finally finishing up their journey to Uasin Gishu using wagons that would often get stuck in the mud – they arrived at Sergoit Hill (now Sergoit Golf and Wildlife resort) in October 1908.
