- Gender Equity: At least 1/3 of CLMC members must be women.
- Penalties: Fines up to KES 500,000 or 3-year imprisonment for violations.
- Non-Discrimination: Communities excluding minorities or women risk registration denial.
- Equal Rights: Customary land rights hold equal legal weight as freehold titles.
