Landlessness in Kenya: A Summary

Landlessness affects ~13% of Kenyans, while two-thirds own <0.53 ha each .

  1. Indigenous and pastoralist communities are disproportionately impacted due to eviction, weak land tenure, conflict, and environmental challenges.
  2. Small farmers across highlands struggle due to fragmentation into uneconomical plots, limiting productivity and food security.
  3. Coastal and Rift Valley regions suffer elite-driven land grabs and infrastructure neglect, amplifying poverty.
  4. Women land ownership is severely limited, particularly in the west and Nyanza, hampering gender equity in land access.

Word to the wise for ignorant, barely literate foreigners who insist on due diligence everywhere except in Africa.

Don’t cut deals with a thief..

Fucking idiots.
