The fear of the referendum has triggered panic selling of idle land, large track land owners are trying to dispose off most of the idle land for fear of paying taxes on them.
The government needs to reassure those who have large tracks of land that is in use not to panic, moreso, those who acquired their land legally.
Those buying land at this time should be very very careful lest they end up with stolen and grabbed land in their hands. It would be wise to wait for the referendum and the legislation Parliament will put in place, together with the modalities for those who own large tracks of idle land to dispose or put such land to use, before engaging in any land deals now.
The good thing is that, part of the intentions of the draft KATIBA is being achieved, large idle lands are now being openned up for effective and economic use, those buying such land definitely have an aim of putting it to good use or are landless people seeking to have land to do meaningful activities. The land question definitely will and must be resolved post August 4th.
Post August 4th, we must start managing land efficiently, effectively, sustainably and economically to ensure food security, deal with squatting and historical injustices.
