Nakuru is among counties that have been riddled with land disputes which have resulted in loss of lives and displacement of many others.
The county is among the fastest developing regions where land prices have skyrocketed as residents and investors scout for prime plots to set up businesses as well as residential houses.
Most of the land disputes in regions such as Naivasha, Molo have been occasioned by corruption from the land buying companies and tribal clashes.
It should be remembered that in the 2007-08 post-election violence, land also played a part in fuelling the chaos.
And in a bid to fight graft in his ministry, Lands Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi on Thursday disbanded the lands regulatory boards countrywide.
Kaimenyi said he had received many complaints on graft from the public and institutions pointing accusing fingers at the boards.
The CS ordered the new boards that will be formed in two weeks time to help solve land disputes.
He also said some of the members of the disbanded boards had served in such capacity for more than seven years.
He also told the ex-members not to vie for any position since they have had a long time in office.
Kaimenyi said the boards which will be formed at the sub-counties will be chaired by county commissioners in assistance of their deputies.
He ordered that all boards be made up of two county government representatives and 3 to 7 members representing residents.
‘The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government has agreed to work with us to ensure that the exercise is successfully concluded in the coming two weeks. We will seriously obey the gender rule in the selection,’ said Kaimenyi.
