![Page 6: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Kenya’s land problem starts from colonial times
![Page 9: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In pre-colonial times land ownership was communal
![Page 10: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Colonialists introduced the private ownership system
![Page 11: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Independence Government did not solve the land problem
![Page 12: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Land problems started before Christianity and continued with it
![Page 13: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Land ownership became concentrated even in ancient times
![Page 14: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Europe’s landless peoples either starved or emigrated to America
![Page 16: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The spread of European civilization to America extended the problem
![Page 17: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

It is now also an urban problem
![Page 19: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Industrial Revolution coincided with urbanization and the slums
![Page 20: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Slums are now mainly a developing world phenomenon
![Page 21: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Land monopoly leads to misery for the majority
![Page 23: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

![Page 24: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Land ownership is first an ethical matter then an economic one
![Page 25: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Religious tradition and Ethics can enlighten us in this matter
![Page 26: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Church Fathers were opposed to concentration of land ownership
![Page 27: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

![Page 28: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 29: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Economics and Private Good clash with Ethics and the Common Good
![Page 30: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Individualised land tenure has advantages over communal tenure
![Page 31: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Private ownership causes a dilemma by harming the common good
![Page 32: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
It is the community which gives land its value
![Page 33: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

![Page 34: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

![Page 35: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Land Taxation effectively converts freehold into leasehold
![Page 39: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Land Taxation rates will not need to be high
![Page 40: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Land Taxation will help to solve several problems specific to Kenya
![Page 41: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

There are several obstacles to the implementation of Land Taxation
![Page 44: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The greatest obstacle is widespread ignorance of the nature of land tenure
![Page 45: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The large landowners have always been opposed to any land tax
![Page 46: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

So, is an equitable distribution of land in Kenya possible?
![Page 48: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Ignorance and powerful vested interests threaten this distribution
![Page 49: Land Taxation and Land Tenure Ethics](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5479e653b4af9fea158b4998/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
