The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration Kipchumba Murkomen has identified unresolved land issues as a leading cause of insecurity in Taita Taveta County.
Consequently, he has stressed the urgent need for inter-ministerial coordination to address squatter conflicts, illegal evictions, and fraudulent land ownership schemes.
Speaking during a high-level security forum held in Taita Taveta as part of the Jukwaa la Usalama regional tour, Murkomen highlighted the chronic land problems that continued to fuel tension, displacement, and violence across the region.
He pointed out that in Taita Taveta and other parts of the Coast, land ownership disputes remained a persistent and potent driver of insecurity.
