    This research paper evaluates land tenure and land registration process in Maua
    Location of Meru North district of Kenya. It comes at a time when Kenyans are
    pressurizing the government increasingly to issue title deeds not only at the Coast
    province but also all over the country (GoK -Ministry of Lands). Maua Location is of
    concern owing to the fact that the land registration process has been on going since
    1966. This is a long time (43 years) for the land registration process not to have been

    Agriculture is the backbone of the Kenyan economy contributing 26% to GDP and 70% to
    employment. Majority of the farmers in Kenya are smallholder farmers possessing less than 3
    acres of land. The agricultural sector in Kenya has been facing several challenges among them
    declining yields. While the decline in yields could be associated with several other factors, it
    could also be as a result of the effect of insecure land tenure systems which are little understood.
    This study examines the technical efficiency of alternative land tenure systems among

    The Constitution of Kenya 2010 recognizes the principle of promoting alternative forms of dispute resolution including reconciliation, mediation, arbitration and traditional dispute resolution mechanisms by courts and tribunals when exercising judicial authority.1 While this provision is not specific on the kind of disputes and conflicts to be submitted to alternative forms of dispute resolution, there are other provisions that contemplate such disputes or conflicts as including community land conflicts.

    Presumption of a direct causal link between formalisation of property rights
    and economic productivity is back on the international development agenda.
    Belief in such a direct causal relationship had been abandoned in the early
    1990s, following four decades of land tenure reform experiments that failed to
    produce the anticipated efficiency results. The work of Hernando de Soto has
    provided the springboard for this revival. De Soto argues that formal property
    rights hold the key to poverty reduction by unlocking the capital potential of

    Ownership, use and management of land are highly emotive issues in Kenya and were one of the key drivers of the push for a new constitution. In fact going back in history, this was the main reason for the fight for independence. The general aim of the research was to show that the Kenyan people in their constituent power have perceived land as more than just property which readily converts to market value with relevant injuries being recompensed conclusively with awards of damages. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 sets out governing principles on land policy.

    It is generally acknowledged that
    insecure and incomplete property rights have large effects on
    the use and management of watershed resources.
    The standard policy response to this problem is
    to privatize farm land, declare riverine areas
    to be public property, and establish a set of
    restrictions on the use of both private and pub
    lic land. This paper presents a more nuanced
    concept of catchment property rights, drawing
    upon key concepts from watershed hydrology and
    the multidisciplinary social science of property
