Two-month deadline set to resolve Galana-Kulalu boundary dispute
Parliament has ordered a fresh survey of the disputed Galana-Kulalu Ranch boundaries in Kilifi County, giving the Director of Surveys two months to resolve the long-running dispute involving ADC and neighbouring Waata and Giriama communities.
The Kenyan Parliament has set a two-month deadline for resolving the boundary dispute surrounding the Galana-Kulalu Ranch in Kilifi County. The Director of Surveys has been given two months to complete the survey, which involves the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC), the National Land Commission (NLC), the Kilifi County Government, and representatives of the Waata and Giriama communities.
The deadline, set by the National Assembly Committee on Implementation chaired by Budalangi MP Raphael Wanjala, is November 17, 2026. The committee emphasized the urgency, stating that the previous deadline has lapsed. Kajiado Central MP Elijah Memusi supported the directive, urging the Director of Surveys to lead the process and involving security agencies to ensure smooth proceedings.
The dispute dates back to 2021 when a petition was presented to Parliament by then-Magarini MP Michael Kingi on behalf of community landowners. The petition raised concerns over an irregular extension of the ranch boundary and alleged encroachment on ancestral land. Despite previous parliamentary efforts, the issue remains unresolved.
