Nairobi-Lake Naivasha road, Kenya. 4 ABOUT THIS BRIEF The UNFCCC framework asks countries to include a national REDD+ institutional framework with certain key elements, many of which will draw on existing legal frameworks. For example, as part of their national strategies and action plans (discussed above), countries are requested to address several issues including: Land tenure issues:1 The importance of land tenure for regulating land use and assigning benefits from REDD+ has been widely noted. Nonetheless, clarifying and then administering land tenure is a complicated issue that presents a challenge for many countries. Tenure systems can contain many different kinds of rights2, and land rights can be a source of conflict and political debate. REDD+ presents a new opportunity to consider this challenge, in addition to creating what could be new resource rights (eg. to carbon); Forest governance issues:3 It is likely that REDD+ policy will build on existing forest governance structures and strategies, which could include efforts to police illegal logging, anti-corruption work, the administration of concessions (if they exist), the establishment of national parks, and so on. REDD+ is seen by some countries as a mechanism to bolster existing national programmes with a new source of revenue; The purpose of this section is to identify the laws, policies institutions relevant to the implementation of a national REDD+ programme in Kenya, with respect to land and environmental governance. 1 Cancun Decisions (Decision 1/CP.16/2010 - "The Cancun Agreements"), paragraph 72. 2 Different kinds of rights can be found within a land tenure system, such as: Right to ownership: the owner is entitled to use, control and dispose of the property. Right to use: - Right to access: for example, an easement confers the right to use the real property of another for a specific purpose (for example, access to another property). - Usufructuary right: Refers to the right of one individual to use and enjoy the property of another, provided its substance is neither impaired nor altered (for example, rights to use water from a stream for household use). - Right to exploit: For example, a profit a prendre is the right of persons to share in the land owned by another, enabling a person to take part of the soil or produce of land that someone else owns (for example, a logging concession). Right to control, ie. entitled to make decisions about how land should be used. Right to transfer, ie. entitled to sell, inherit and/or reallocate property rights. 3 Cancun Decisions (Decision 1/CP.16/2010 - "The Cancun Agreements"), paragraph 72. 5 1 BACKGROUND TO KENYA’S LEGAL SYSTEM The purpose of this section is to provide background context to Kenya's legal system. Any country's legal system is made up of policies, laws, institutions, conventions and historical memory.

  • Justice for Economic Crimes? Kenya's Truth Commission
    ASPJ Africa & Francophonie - 4th Quarter 2015 Justice for Economic Crimes? Kenya’s Truth Commission KIMBERLY LANEGRAN, PHD* any countries emerging from dark periods of extensive political conflict or oppression have launched truth commissions in an effort to acknowledge past violations of human rights, achieve a measure of justice for victims, and foster communal healing and reconciliation. Most commonly, such commissions are designed to shed light on injustices such as enlistment of child soldiers, Mforced disappearances, police violence, wide-scale abuse of women, assassinations, mur- der, and torture. However, in recent years, people have become more aware of the hollow- ness of transitional justice and reconciliation measures that are blind to social and eco- nomic injustices. Rama Mani, for example, suggests that transitional justice structures must consider whether and how to address war economies and corruption, in particular, if the field “is to achieve its intended goals.”1 Indeed, Dustin Sharp sees a new preoccupa- tion with considering a place for economic violence and economic justice within transi- tional justice scholarship.2 Concomitantly, a small number of truth commissions have examined and sought justice for a limited set of economic crimes and atrocities. Kenya’s Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) (2008–13) was es- tablished with an innovative mandate that explicitly included a wide range of alleged economic injustices for investigation. Many people believed that the root causes of Ke- nya’s 2008 postelection violence lay in economic crimes, particularly the misappropria- tion of land, perpetrated against Kenyans since independence. During its investigatory phase, the TJRC vigorously sought to fulfill this part of its charge, soliciting evidence of economic violations and pursuing allegations.

  • World Bank Land Conference 2019
    World Bank Land Conference 2019 Theme: Land Policy and Political Economy The Political Economy of Kenya Land Policy Review Odenda Lumumba, CEO- Kenya Land Alliance & PhD Student, Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape Abstract The political quest to review the Kenya National Land Policy (KNLP) has been on the cards since it was formulated and endorsed by Parliament on December 3, 2009. This is despite the fact that the policy document was developed in tandem with the Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G), which spelled out a comprehensive process of restructuring three major components of the land system, namely its structure of land ownership (property system), land use and production structures, and the support services infrastructure for land delivery. The F & G was declared by the Heads of States and Governments in July 2009 as their commitment to the shared vision, objectives and principles on land policy matters. The Kenya National Land Policy whose principles are anchored in the Constitution of Kenya offers a framework of policies and laws designed to secure rights over land for sustainable growth, investments and the reduction of poverty in line with the Government’s development blue- print, Vision 2030. The KNLP was one of the most important policies introduced in Kenya due to sustained pressure from the civil society and it captured all aspects of policies and practices that required reforming. Exploring the KNLP from the political economy theoretical perspective is key because as the policy was being finalized having attracted varied donor support through wide ranging participatory process, the USAID criticized it for its overly agrarian thrust and suggested the need of effecting changes before it was endorsed by the Parliament1.

So, I order that the Bell be rung for 10 minutes. (The Quorum Bell was rung) Order Members! Take your seats. We now have the required Quorum. Let us begin business. PETITION Hon. Deputy Speaker: Under this Order, we have the Member for Magarini, Hon. Michael Kingi. IRREGULAR EXTENSION OF GALANA RANCHING BOUNDARY Hon. Michael Kingi (Magarini, ODM): Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to present Petition No.4 of 2021 regarding irregular extension of Galana Ranching Boundary. I, the undersigned, on behalf of Magarini Sub-County Community Land Owners, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the Galana Game and Ranching Community land in Kilifi and Tana River counties was indigenously settled on by the Waata and Giriama communities before colonisation of the country. THAT, in 1972, the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) took over Galana Game and Ranching land with its original boundary points that were marked in 1961 jointly by the Waata and Giriama communities and several colonial government representatives such as Geoffrey Pois, Martin Anderson, Henry Henly and David Teller. THAT, local representatives who witnessed this demarcation separating the ranching land from the community land included Hiribae Guyo, Bajila Bashora, Wakati Hogomthi, Fondo Mwangirani, Kitu Nguo as well as Abadiba Guyo Kiribai, James Guyo Bajila, Robert Thoya Mwamure, Soso Shako, Changawa Chanjalo and other community elders.

  • Transparency in Kenya's Upstream Oil and Gas Sector
    Beating the Resource Curse: Transparency in Kenya’s Upstream Oil and Gas Sector by Sally Lesley Brunton Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Political Science in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Ian Taylor March 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2018 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University. All rights reserved. i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In 2012 Tullow Oil plc discovered commercial quantities of crude oil onshore Kenya. Additional commercial discoveries have subsequently been made and estimates suggest that Kenya’s oil reserves are substantial. Steps towards the development and production of these reserves are progressing and Kenya is thus preparing to become another of sub-Saharan Africa’s oil-exporting states. Nevertheless, experience has shown that the majority of these resource-rich states have succumbed to symptoms of the ‘resource curse’: economic and human development and growth has been hindered rather than helped and many of these states find themselves struggling to escape from the clutches of rent-seeking, bribery and corruption. In an attempt to determine how best Kenya might avoid the negative impacts of the curse this study examines various strands of resource curse theory.
