However, the effect associated with land use conflicts includes a shortage of food for villagers, killing, and loss of peace among the villages, crop and livestock destruction, loss of originally owned land, development stagnation, and decrease of income. The study, therefore, recommended that government should raise awareness of land use policy among the villagers through the provision of seminars, workshops and leaflets on land use policy and the rights of people. The government should also put clear and permanent boundaries in surveyed land in the villages, The anti-corruption institution should make frequent follow up of the village land committee and land tribunal on their judgements regarding land use conflicts.
