Aside from managing public land, the commission is also tasked with:

• Recommending a national land policy to the State
• Advising the state on a comprehensive programme for the registration of titles throughout Kenya
• Conducting research related to land and the use of natural resources and to make recommendations to appropriate authorities among other

Membership

Those nominated to membership of the Commission are:

• Mohammed Swazuri - Chairman
• Tomiik Mboya Konyimbih
