President William Ruto issued 6,000 title deeds to residents of Makueni County in Kenya during a development tour of the Lower Eastern region.
The distribution took place at Machinery Market in Kibwezi as part of the National Titling Programme. This initiative aims to formalize land ownership and strengthen property rights for citizens. The government says the program helps people resolve land ownership uncertainties so they can use their property for investments and other economic activities.
The State Department for Lands and Physical Planning manages the program by performing land adjudication, surveying, mapping, and registration. By providing legal recognition of land, the government intends to help households plan long-term investments and improve their access to credit by using land as collateral. This latest distribution brings the total number of titles issued in the Lower Eastern region to 23,000.
