the extended kenyatta family alone owns an estimated 500,000 acres — approximately the size of nyanza province — according to estimates by independent surveyors and ministry of lands officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The kibaki and moi families also own large tracts of land though most of the moi family land is held in the names of his sons and daughters and other close family members. Most of the holders of the huge parcels of land are concentrated within the 17.2 per cent part of the country that is arable.

The remaining 80 per cent is mostly arid and semi arid land. In fact, according to the kenya land alliance, more than a half of the arable land in the country is in the hands of only 20 per cent of the 30 million kenyans.

That has left up to 13 per cent of the population absolutely landless while another 67 per cent on average own less than an acre per person.
