Residents of Nzambani Sub-Ward in Makueni County on Wednesday had a rare opportunity to directly engage with government officials on longstanding land ownership challenges during a land succession clinic graced by Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr.
The clinic, organized by the Office of the County Attorney, aimed at addressing persistent land succession disputes that have affected many families in the region for generations. The initiative also seeks to help residents formalize land ownership by acquiring title deeds—an essential step toward unlocking the economic value of land.
Governor Mutula Jr. attended the session in Nzambani Sub Ward to gain firsthand insight into the challenges residents face. Speaking during the event, he acknowledged that land succession remains a major concern within the Kamba community, often leading to conflicts and underutilization of property.
He emphasized that obtaining title deeds is key to transforming land into a productive asset.
The governor noted that titled land not only increases in value but also enables owners to access financial services such as bank loans.
The clinic provided a platform for residents to raise pressing concerns and seek guidance on land ownership, inheritance processes, and dispute resolution.
Many attendees welcomed the initiative, noting that direct engagement with officials offered clarity on complex legal procedures surrounding land succession.
