Acquisition of land critical to power transmission plansThe re-introduction of compulsory acquisition of land as an option in mitigating complexities associated with wayleaves breathes a new lease of life into the operations of industry players. The award so far arrived at by the Deputy County Commissioner may be challenged before the County Commissioner whose decision shall then be final. Previously, project implementing agencies have had to contend with long standing disputes and many times even court battles over land ownership and wayleaves acquisition. In carrying out this mandate we have had to grapple with complexities associated with wayleaves acquisition and challenges in survey. It is important that we identify and thoroughly outline/document need and purpose necessitating wayleaves acquisition and the challenges posed in the process.
