A budget cut of Sh1.3 billion will cripple key functions at the National Lands Commission (NLC), outgoing vice chair Abigael Mbagaya has said.

Services likely to be affected include titling of land belonging to schools following an order by President Uhuru Kenyatta, and resolution of historical land injustices countrywide.
