Ten years ago, Kenya made a land policy[1] to secure land rights, promote economic growth, investment and reduction of poverty. This paper seeks to examine how the policy has fared towards improvement of livelihoods, establishment of an accountable and transparent institutional system. The paper looks at three processes of making, implementation and outcomes of the Policy that are interlinked, yet requires to be separated so as to come to terms with what has happened to the land sector in Kenya. Land policies are shaped by stakeholders, but the implementation is through political and administration mechanism of the governments, whose agencies coordinate their activities towards a common end. Thus, there is a need to build bridges between the three processes as a social engineering exercise towards a transformative sustainable pathway. Keywords:
Land Policy, making, implementation and outcomes, framework and guidelines on land policy in Africa, political economy theoretical perspective
