Kinango, November 11, 2026

Deputy President H.E. Prof. Kithure Kindiki today presided over the issuance of 20,000 title deeds to residents of Kalalani, Mwavumbo Ward, Kinango Constituency, Kwale County, in a major boost to the Government's efforts to address historical land ownership challenges and secure property rights for citizens.

Following the exercise, leaders from Kwale County called on residents to appreciate the Government's efforts in addressing longstanding land ownership challenges and cautioned against politicising the titling programme. They urged beneficiaries with concerns or discrepancies in their title deeds to seek assistance from the relevant government departments for verification and resolution.

Speaking during the event, Prof. Kindiki reaffirmed the Government's commitment to resolving historical land ownership challenges in the Coast region. He noted that 300,000 title deeds had already been issued across Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, Lamu, Tana River and Taita Taveta counties, adding that President William Ruto would return to the region next month to oversee the issuance of a further 200,000 title deeds.

The Deputy President urged residents to report any challenges encountered during the titling exercise to the relevant authorities for appropriate action, assuring them that genuine concerns would be addressed.

“Where there is a problem, inform us and we will rectify it accordingly. There is no need for incitement,” he said.

The Principal Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning, Hon. Generali Nixon Korir reiterated the State Department's commitment to ensuring that all eligible landowners acquire secure ownership documents, noting that the ongoing titling programme is a key government intervention in addressing historical land injustices, strengthening tenure security and promoting socio-economic development. 

The PS assured residents that the Department would continue working with relevant stakeholders to resolve outstanding land ownership issues and improve access to land administration services.

Among the beneficiaries was Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs and Sports, Hon. Salim Mvurya, who also received his title deed. He described the occasion as a significant milestone, noting that residents of Mwavumbo had faced longstanding difficulties in acquiring title documents.

Hon. Mvurya urged residents to appreciate the progress made and avoid politicising the issuance of title deeds, encouraging those with concerns to engage the relevant government departments for assistance.

Kwale Governor H.E. Fatuma Achani echoed the call, urging residents not to be swayed by political rhetoric. She assured them that genuine land ownership disputes would be addressed through the appropriate government channels.

Kinango Member of Parliament Hon. Samuel Gonzi Rai and other leaders also attended the event.
