Ruto Urges Kenyans to Stop Dividing Family Land Into Smaller Plots

President William Ruto has proposed land consolidation to prevent the subdivision of family farms into smaller plots, citing population growth putting pressure on agricultural land. During a church service in Kakamega, he urged families to build homes in organized settlements while preserving larger land areas for food production and cash crops. Ruto warned that continued subdivision could leave families with insufficient land for farming, impacting their ability to grow food, coffee, and vegetables for income, emphasizing the need for land consolidation to balance housing and agricultural needs.
