Grabbed public land and double allocations are among issues surveyors and Nakuru county government officials will face as the issuance of title deeds to residents of Salgaa Centre begins.

The process, which is scheduled to begin this week, will bring to an end a four-decade-long wait by land owners to have title deeds.

Simon Ngugi said his late father, Peter Gakuo, started the centre in the 1980s.

Gakuo is said to have sold a 30-acre land to the then County Council of Nakuru to start the trading centre then known as Chawa Trading Centre.
