More than 20 Coast MPs and members of the National Land Commission met in Mombasa over the controversial Community Land Bill 2015 before the National Assembly and demanded its withdrawal.

They said the bill, if enacted into law, will have far-reaching negative effects on land reform, adding that through this law the Kenyatta government is plotting to render the commission toothless.
