The National Land Commission (NLC) has ordered that all 999-year-old land leases to multinational tea companies in Kericho, Bomet and Nandi counties be converted to the constitutional requirement of 99 years.
NLC announced the decision in a Gazette notice No. 4512 dated April 6. The decision has brought joy to members of the Talai clan and the Kipsigis community who have been fighting for years over historical land injustices.
