Abstract
Land grabbing has been a problem in Kenya since the colonial period. Successive governments have not been able to deal with this problem. The current land laws were enacted in order to deal with various land issues including land grabbing, however, this problem is present, years after the enactments of the current land laws. This study explores the inadequacy of the current land laws in Kenya to address the problem of land grabbing in Kenya. It also looks at the National Land Commission and the Ministry of Lands and shows their limitations in dealing with land grabbing in Kenya. The study recommends changes in the current land laws to ensure that these laws are able to address the problem of land grabbing in Kenya.
