CORD leader Raila Odinga has urged the National Assembly to reject the proposed Community Land Bill 2015, warning it will aggravate Kenya’s land problems and weaken institutions created to solve historical land injustices if adopted.

The former Prime Minister warned that the Bill being pushed by Majority Leader in the National Assembly Aden Duale threatens to stall all reforms achieved in the land sector since the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution.
