What this means

The index files this text under article 66 of the Constitution of Kenya.
The passage runs to about 43 words.
Read plainly, it mentions property — it addresses property, possession, or taking property compulsorily (the words used: “property”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) The State may regulate the use of any land, or any”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
