It is mediocre that foreigners can buy land in Kenya, and then get into the business of the selling the land to other people. GoK is asleep. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

How did you know it is a sale advert? Maybe it was a caveat emptor. I think the new land bill cures this situation.

This reminds me of one @mlefu who though caveat emptor is the biggest land owner in Kenya When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.

(1) A person who is not a citizen may hold land on the basis of leasehold tenure only, and any such lease, however granted, shall not exceed ninety-nine years. (2) If a provision of any agreement, deed, conveyance or document of whatever nature purports to confer on a person who is not a citizen an interest in land greater than a ninety-nine year lease, the provision shall be regarded as conferring on the person a ninety-nine year leasehold interest, and no more." If you deny foreigners completely, you stifle foreign investment. If you insist joint ownership with citizens, you encourage corruption... government officials and their families and cronies will find a new kick-back avenue! All in all, I think that they way this matter was handled in the our constitution is the best. Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

What do you think is a better duration and why didn't you propose it when we were writing the constitution?
