| dc.description.abstract | I first confess the timidness with which I trotted in
this area of agrarian economy, clutching firmly on the law.
This paper, far from being a treatise on the mechanics of
land law in agrarian development, attempts to illuminate that
essential link agrarian development This paper is not an exception to the usual constrains,
that any field researcher is subjected to. The researchwork
was extensive both in the area and issues covered, Time and
finances proved to be the greatemobstacles.
It is impossible to acknowledge adequately the debt which
one owes to others. Frequently the greatest debts are not
consciously realized by the debtor.
I wish to express my gratitude to government officials
in Kiambu Land Registrar's Offic~ the Division Headquarter
Githunguri and the A. F.C Kiambu, for I':: '",.-gi~ing me access
to some material which were necessary for this paper.
I also wish to place on record my deep indebtedness to
Mr. H. W. O. Okoth-Ogendo, my Land Law lecturer and supervisor,
without whose scholarly nursing, this paper would have been a
confusion, both in form and substance.
To the members of my family, I wish to express my gratitude,
in no perfunctory sense, for assisting me both spiritually and
materially, not only in my preparation for this paper, but
also during my whole struggle in this University.
Last but not least, I am particularly indebted to my
cousin Miss Wambui Matindi, who cheerfully undertook the
laborious task of typing this paper | |
