Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eng. Eric Mugaa.
Kenya has drafted a new law to reclaim degraded land nationwide, targeting improved food and water security alongside stronger climate resilience.
Irrigation Secretary for Land Reclamation, Climate Resilience and Irrigation Water Management, Joel Tanui, briefed Water, Sanitation and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eng. Eric Mugaa on the proposed Land Reclamation Bill, 2026, during a session of the Land Reclamation Committee.
The Bill seeks to build a legal framework for restoring degraded land and halting further degradation, in support of Kenya's land degradation neutrality targets, according to the State Department for Irrigation.
