NLC Annual Report 2024/25 Intelligence Series
Ten briefs reading the National Land Commission’s FY2024/25 Annual Report for the work it sends to advocates: a Ksh. 19.6 billion compulsory-acquisition wave, 3,003 allotment letters, 18 affordable-housing sites headed for sectional titling, surging NLC litigation, 521 historical-injustice determinations against a September deadline, and a Commissioner transition that has opened the risk window now.
The National Land Commission’s FY2024/25 Annual Report records the largest compulsory-acquisition cycle it has ever processed, a surge in regularisation allotments concentrated on Nairobi’s expansion corridor, and 18 Affordable Housing Programme sites approved for the survey-to-title pipeline. These briefs translate the report’s tables into the conveyancing, valuation, and litigation instructions they will generate. CounselConnect’s interpretations are identified as such; the briefs do not constitute legal advice.
