The Agricultural Landlords and Tenants Act or ALTA remains in place and can only be removed by decree by the government.
Native Lands Trust Board General Manager Alipate Qetaki said though the NLTB has made submissions to the government on its land reform agenda plans that ALTA be abolished, the 44 year old legislation remains in place.
Qetaki said there are certain aspects of ALTA which they believe should be maintained when and if the legislation is reviewed.
Meanwhile, on government's intentions to issue 99 year leases for agricultural land under the Land reform agenda, the NLTB has also submitted that there must be provisions to ensure gradual increases in rent charges.
