What the Law Says About Illegal Land Occupation
Land disputes involving the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) can arise when the utility installs electricity poles, runs power lines across private property or when individuals occupy land owned by the company without authorization.
The applicable legal requirements depend on the circumstances of the occupation.
Under the first scenario, where KPLC installs electricity infrastructure on private land without the owner’s consent, the landowner may seek legal redress.
The Energy Act, 2019, and the Land Act, 2012, provide the legal framework governing wayleaves and land rights.
Depending on the circumstances, the company may need to obtain the necessary consent, establish a formal wayleave arrangement, and compensate the landowner for eligible losses, including damage to crops or structures and restrictions on land use.
Affected landowners can document the encroachment by confirming their property boundaries with a licensed surveyor and photographing the affected areas.
They can then submit a formal complaint to KPLC, supported by documents such as a title deed, survey report and the property’s land reference number.
If the dispute remains unresolved, they may seek assistance from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) or pursue legal action through the Environment and Land Court.
In the second scenario, individuals who occupy KPLC-owned land, wayleave reserves or designated utility corridors without authorization face eviction.
The company can issue a formal notice requiring occupants to vacate the property and remove any structures, crops or other improvements within a specified period.
