and
the
Kenya

Order
in Council 1939 which formerly
regulated the occupation of those parts of
Kenya
known as

any
land,
other
than
private
land, within
the
Special Areas.

Order

the

Advisory Board composed
of
all races
to advise the Governor on
land
matters.
It
prohibits
the
creation
of
racial

It
enables certain Crown
lessees to convert their estates to freehold, empowers the Governor to
make
regulations governing generally the development, control
and
use of all
land,
and
provides for
the
registration of title to
and
of transactions in land.
