The National Land Commission (NLC) and other stakeholders are collaborating closely with the state Department for Lands and Physical Planning to execute the Community Land Act and ensure that numerous title deeds are granted.
Generali Nixon Korir, the Principal Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning, stated that despite the difficulties, his office’s duty is to expedite the issue of title deeds to the general people.
PS Korir spoke in place of Zachariah Njeru, Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Public Works, Housing, and Urban Development.
“We have done sensitization for a long time, it is now time that we channelled our resources for implementation and transition of the remaining Group ranches,” said PS Korir.
He however cited some of the challenges facing the transition process including the fact that it has taken long for most County Governments to confirm if inventories submitted have community concurrence (public participation) thus affecting the inventory process.
Korir also stated that negative ethnicity and intra and inter-county boundary disputes were leading to conflict and slowing the process.
Environment and Land Court Presiding Judge Justice Oscar Angote, Board of NAMATI Kenya Husna Mbarak and NLC Chairman Gershom Otachi were among the guests who attended the launch event.
