Steps

  1. Report to the National Land Commission through its complaint portal or at an NLC office. Say which land, where it is, who is taking it and what is happening.
  2. NLC can investigate on a complaint and recommend redress; the law empowers it to recover grabbed public land.
  3. Where there is fraud or corruption, also report to the DCI or the EACC.

Watch out

  • Grabbing means land meant for public use, like a school or hospital plot, being taken fraudulently or illegally by private people, businesses or officials.
  • If anyone asks you for money to handle your report, call NLC's corruption line 0111042840.

Who can apply

  • Any Kenyan can report suspected grabbing of public land.
