Kenyan order to repossess Lamu land

>Residents of Kongowe Ward here, who agreed to divide among themselves over 100 hectares of land they claimed had been abandoned for over 20 years, have opposed the district commissioner’s order to suspend their decision to occupy the land.

The CCM secretary general Abdulrahman Kinana said his party’s presidential candidate, John Magufuli, will repossess idle tanzanite mining plots belonging to large-scale firms and hand them over to artisanal miners.

>For years now, the decision by the government to invite and accommodate investors in land has divided the nation into two main groups—those who views this move as legalizing land grabbing and the other group that sees this move as a modern way of introducing commercial farming in Tanzania.
