   This study conducts an academic and practical surgery of the problem of land rights
   administration in the pre-colonial, colonial, independent and modern Kenya. At the core of the
   statement of the problem of the study lie issues of land tenure and sanctity of land titles in
   Kenya. Amazingly, the issues that form the nuclei of the “Land Question” in Kenya are closely
   intertwined with the socio-economic and political climate prevailing in the country. Hence, the
   study confronts the problem from the policy, legal-constitutional and institutional dimensions.
