"Whether you have a quarter of an acre or a thousand acres, you have a right to own that land as long it is being used for what it was meant for," said Mr Ole Lenku.
He added that his government is determined to protect genuine land owners from cartels that are selling agricultural lands for residential use.
He said that the county has now put in place a Spartial Plan for land use in the county.
Kajiado Governor Joseph ole Lenku Wednesday clarified that his order on land sale in the county was meant to protect those who have bought land legally.
"Whether you have a quarter of an acre or a thousand acres, you have a right to own that land as long it is being used for what it was meant for," said Mr Ole Lenku.
"What we are against are cartels that buy land and fraudulently change its usage."
He said the county has now put in place a Spartial Plan for land use in the county.
"The Spatial plan which we launched last week clearly spells out how land is supposed to be used in the county," he explained.
"We have land meant for agriculture, industry, ranching and human settlement. That demarcation ought to be respected."
"If you have bought land in an area meant to rear livestock, go there and rear livestock," said Mr Ole Lenku.
"We do not want people taking land meant for livestock, subdividing that land and putting it for different use."
Genuine owners
He added that his government is determined to protect genuine land owners from cartels that are selling agricultural lands for residential use.
Mr Ole Lenku was speaking in Kajiado when he witnessed the swearing in of Chief Officers and the last batch of county executives. With Wednesday's swearing in, he now has a full cabinet in place.
The swearing in of CECs had been delayed by a court petition that had been filed by CECs that served under former governor David Nkedianye.
They had wanted the second batch of vetting of CECs to be stopped arguing that their term in office was not over.
Thrown out
The case was thrown out paving way for vetting and subsequent swearing in. Mr Ole Lenku has retained four Chief Officers from Dr Nkedianye's government, including Morris Kaaka, the Treasury Chief Officer.
Others are Moses Murunya (Lands), James Sankale (Environment) and Jackson Matanta (ICT).
Florence Waiganjo, who was Water Chief Officer, was promoted to Water County Executive.
