The general objective of this study was to examine the impact of lack of common
land policy on foreign direct investments in east African community: evidences from
Kenya and Tanzania. The research also aimed to meet three specific objectives that
is: to examine similarities and differences in the land policies in Kenya and Tanzania
as member states of East African Community, to examine how the policies influence
the foreign direct investments practices in Kenya and Tanzania and to examine how
lack of common land policy influences the East African integration process.
The population under the study is the entire East African community population but
due to cost and time limitations purposive sampling procedure was adopted where a
sample of 200 respondents were drawn from this population and intensively studied.
Data were collected using questionnaires. Among the respondents are investors,
economists, land officials and students of which all of them have adequate skills and
knowledge to give information which is trustful and can bring credible results. The
areas studied ranges from Arusha districts in Tanzania up to Kaijado and Narok
districts in Kenya.
In this study data were analysed and presented using SPSS software where
descriptive tables and histograms were used to present the information. In the data
presented in the tables and bar chart non – parametric chi – square distribution tests
were taken to measure associations in the distributions of the data taken from Kenya
and Tanzania.
The study found and concluded that there exist impacts on foreign direct investments
in the African Community region due to policy difference among community
member states.
The study recommends that it is the high time for the East African Community States
to harmonise their land policies and urgently set in a common land protocol to
promote their integration and social economic development |
