Lands PS Korir issues 2500 titles in Churo, Tiaty Constituency, marking first time area residents see Title Deeds
CHURO, BARINGO, June 26, 2025
Lands Principal Secretary Generali Nixon Korir today presided over the issuance of title deeds in Churo/Amaya Ward in Tiaty Constituency.
The event was historic since it is the first time residents of the area were being issued with titles for their land.
Local leaders and elders were overcome with emotions as they described the exclusion they were subjected to in the past.
PS Korir said he was tasked by President William Ruto to ensure the residents of the area are given titles as part of the Government's efforts to rectify historical service delivery gaps.
"I have been sent here by the President. It was a promise he made when he issued title deeds to the residents of Chemolingot," said the PS.
Speaking on the AIC Churo Girls High School, the PS said the Government will support the school in setting up a new laboratory and fencing the institution to protect the girls.
"I have been informed that the school lacks a laboratory and needs to be fenced. I'll take back this information and consult my counterpart at Basic Education and we will work together to help this school," said the PS. The PS encouraged the local community to take their girls to school.
Tiaty MP William Kamket, who hosted the event, thanked the Government for addressing the need for land ownership documents after many decades of waiting.
Former Councillor Gideon Kamama, who is also a member of the area land adjudication committee said, "We were left behind and we are the only ones who were not given title deeds. Now we feel like Kenyans."
Mr Daniel Kapedo, who serves as the chairman of the area land adjudication committee, said, "We were squatting on our own land. We are no longer squatters and we thank President Ruto's Government".
Mr Musa Amogon chairman of the council of elders. Musa Amogon said the community residing in the area was treated unfairly by previous governments.
"We were treated unfairly by the previous governments. We thank President ruto for bringing us close to the government. Pokots have never seen title deeds before President Ruto came into office," said the elder.
Other leaders who spoke at the event included Mogotio MP Reuben Kiborek and Baringo Women Rep Florence Jematiah among others.
