The contribution of land to the recent violence in Kenya : implications for the ongoing land policy dialogue
Mwathane, Ibrahim
This paper discusses how Kenyaas unresolved land question contributed to the 2007 post election violence and the ethnic clashes experienced in the previous 1992, 1997 and 2002 general elections. It details the policy interventions put in place in the last two decades, including the land reform provisions of the February 2008 post election Agreement signed between the two coalition principals, and the land chapter of the proposed new constitution. The paper demonstrates how the interventions converge around the provisions of the recently approved National Land Policy to give Kenya an opportunity to resolve its intractable land question.
