\ud83d\udd34<\/strong>National Assembly Debates Landmark Motion to Safeguard Farmland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of Kenya\u2019s National Assembly are deliberating a motion that could reshape the country\u2019s rural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsored by Hon. Timothy Wanyonyi,who is currently the leading candidate for the Bungoma Gubernatorial race in 2027 said the proposal calls for the formulation of a comprehensive land use policy aimed at zoning land for agricultural and built development purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motion urges the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development to establish a framework that designates specific zones for residential and commercial development,complete with shared public utilities,while preserving separate zones for agricultural use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is to halt the rapid loss of farmland and stabilize Kenya\u2019s declining agricultural productivity.Citing data from the Kenya Land Alliance, Wanyonyi highlighted that only 17% of the country\u2019s land is suitable for rain-fed agriculture, with the rest classified as semi-arid or arid. He warned that unplanned settlements are increasingly encroaching on fertile land, fragmenting rural agricultural plots into smaller parcels for construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is an urgent need to implement effective land use measures to ensure optimal agricultural output,\u201d Wanyonyi stated during the session.If adopted, the motion could pave the way for a national zoning policy that balances development with food security an issue growing more critical as Kenya\u2019s population and urban sprawl continue to rise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
