Kajiado County is set to allocate 7,965 parcels of land across seven townships as part of an ongoing land tenure regularisation programme. The National Land Commission (NLC), acting on behalf of the County Government of Kajiado, has announced that the allocations will take effect 30 days from the date of publication, provided there are no valid objections.
According to the notice signed by NLC chairman Gershom Otachi Bw’Omanwa, the parcels have been planned and surveyed for residential and mixed-use purposes. The allocation is being carried out under section 14 of the Land Act, 2012, which guides land tenure regularisation.
Kajiado township, which hosts the county headquarters, has the largest share of the parcels with 2,663 plots, followed by Noonkopir near Kitengela with 2,572 plots. Namanga township, a busy cross-border hub on the Kenya-Tanzania frontier, will see 1,715 parcels allocated, while Isinya will receive 350. Smaller allocations include 160 parcels in Kimuka, 105 in Oloitoktok, and 400 in Bulbul township.
The NLC indicated that ownership details can be inspected at the office of the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Lands in Kajiado, the Director of Surveys in Nairobi, or NLC offices during working hours. Members of the public with objections have been urged to file them within 15 days.
“In the absence of any valid objections, the allocation shall take place at the Commission’s offices in Nairobi (316 Upper Hill Chambers, 2nd Ngong Avenue) as from 2.30pm on the next working day following the expiry of this notice,” Otachi said.
This announcement comes less than a year after the Commission revealed plans in November 2024 to allocate 375 parcels across five townships in the county under a similar programme. It also follows the launch of Kajiado’s first 10-year Spatial Plan in July 2023, which seeks to guide sustainable land use, protect fragile ecosystems, integrate green spaces, and provide for larger plots as urbanisation accelerates.
The allocation is expected to ease land ownership concerns in one of the fastest-growing counties bordering Nairobi, where demand for land continues to surge.
