Read the Constitution of Kenya (2010):
Quote:"Landholding by non-citizens
Article 65.
(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.
