dc.description.abstract | The study set out to investigate the problems faced in the
process of acquiring land and the effects of these problems on
the project implementation plan. The study found out the probLem
to include: computation errors especially for unregistered land
payment of compensation, inadequate compensation leading t.o
complaints and resistance, litigation, and non-availability of
compensation funds where the government is the payer. The overall
effect of the problems was found out to be delays in projects
implementation especially where registered land is concerned.
Delay had further effects on project implementation plan in terror
of increased contract time (11.5%) and increased contract sum
(7.7%) in the case of Thika Dam.
The Methodology involved comparative study of two cases: the
Kiambere H.E.P. Project (representing unregistered land) and
Thika Dam Project (representing registered land). However the
case study methodology which relied on records as principal
source of data had a certain limitation in that it was difficult
to regenerate data which is not found in records. Secondly the
data available was only amenable to descriptive statistics and
not inferential statistics. The scope of the study was only
limited to large scale projects required large tracts of land to
be acquired compulsorily by the Government. | en |
