NATURAL JUSTICE LAND ACQUISITION MAP FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The guide explains how to use a map that identifies land parcels in Turkana, Samburu, Meru, Isiolo, Garissa, and Lamu counties earmarked for the LAPSSET Corridor Project. It details the project's components, the map's data sources from the National Land Commission (NLC), and the legal eight-step process for compulsory land acquisition and compensation in Kenya.

• The LAPSSET (Lamu Port South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport) Corridor Project is an infrastructure programme in Kenya's coastal and northern regions comprising pipelines, roads, railways, airports, resort cities, special economic zones, and a coal plant, designed to link Lamu Port to Ethiopia and South Sudan.
• The land acquisition map is based on National Land Commission (NLC) Notices of Intention to Compulsorily acquire land published in the Kenya Gazette on 21 October 2016 and 15 February 2019, covering parcels in the counties of Turkana, Samburu, Meru, Isiolo, Garissa, and Lamu.
• The legal process for compulsory land acquisition following NLC notices consists of eight steps: serving notice to interested parties, inspection and assessment, publishing a Notice of Inquiry, conducting a hearing, granting an award of compensation (monetary or alternative land), making the compensation payment, taking possession of the land, and the surrender of title documents.
• Individuals eligible to lodge compensation claims with the NLC include those with registered interests in the land, their spouses, any person actually occupying the land, and the spouses of those in occupation.
