dc.description.abstractSince independence, land disputes have remained contentious in Kenya; given that most of the population continuesto depend on land for their livelihoods. Although the National Government Administration Officers(NGAO)arecritical in solving the land conflict in Kenya, few scholarly studies have focused on their role. This study sought to assess the effect of NGAO in solving land inheritance disputes in Kuresoi South Sub-County, Nakuru County. The study was anchored on the Agency theory owing to the agency role of administrative officers. A descriptive research designwas used in this study. The study's target population included area residents, the national administration officers, and other key informants such as county commissioners,civic leaders, senior security personnel; lands officers,and leaders of faith-based groups. The research used a purposive sampling technique and asample of 384 respondents.Data was collected through structured and unstructured questionnaires and analysed through descriptive and thematic analyses. The findings indicated that NGAO enhanced the resolution of disputes about land inheritanceprimarily through awareness ofland rightsandland inheritance accountability issues. The study further observed that NGAO faced different challenges in their pursuitto reduce land-induced conflicts such as workload, lack of motivation owing to lack of incentives for the officers, and lack of cooperation from members of the Kuresoi-South Community. The policymakers might want to incentivize the role played by NGAO officers in promoting stability concerning land conflicts.en_US
