Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Public Works, Housing, and Urban Development, Alice Wahome, has reiterated the Ministry's dedication to efficient delivery of services to Kenyans.
Wahome said that the Government is working on an additional six unregistered community lands in Garissa that the County government has submitted for gazettement and urged the beneficiaries to utilise their titles responsibly and avoid selling their land indiscriminately. "Since independence, only 3,000 title deeds had been issued to the people of Garissa.
Today alone, we are issuing another 3,000 for Garissa Township, with an additional 4,500 title deeds currently under preparation," Wahome said. "Land titling is crucial because it provides legal documentation of land ownership, ensuring security of tenure, facilitating land transactions, and enabling access to credit, ultimately contributing to economic development and poverty reduction," she added.
Issuance of title deeds in the Region will play a great role in improving security and fostering cohesion by eliminating frequent conflicts over land which had been contributed by lack of legal footing in land ownership claims.
