## What this means (mechanical reading aid, not legal advice)

- The index files this text under article 67 of the Constitution of Kenya.
- The passage runs to about 154 words.
- Read plainly, it mentions property — it addresses property, possession, or taking property compulsorily (the words used: “property”).
- **Caveat:** The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) There is established the National Land Commission.”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.
- **Caveat:** 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.
