The National Land Commission (NLC) has notified all landowners in Nairobi with leaseholds whose leases have expired or are about to expire to apply for an extension or renewal.  The Commission, through a notice published in a local daily on Sunday, June 22, directed the affected landowners whose leases have five years or less remaining to expiry to submit their applications to NLC.

All those affected, including those with expired leases, are to submit their documents to the Commission in triplicate for renewal.  "On this basis, the NLC hereby notifies all leaseholders within Nairobi City County whose leases have five (5) years or less remaining to expiry, as well as those whose leases have expired and who wish to apply for extension or renewal, to submit their application in triplicate to the NLC," the notice read in part.
