Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has taken the significant step of distributing 1,000 title deeds to local residents, reinforcing the importance of security for landowners in the city. Sakaja stressed his administration’s dedication to upholding its commitments, noting that the issuance of title deeds represents a major milestone in tackling land ownership challenges in Nairobi.
“Without a title deed, you cannot genuinely assert ownership of land. Today, you can confidently hold this deed in your hands,” Governor Sakaja remarked during an event at Charter Hall in Nairobi.
Over the past two years, the county government has provided more than 7,000 title deeds to individuals and organizations throughout the city. Sakaja emphasized that this initiative is part of his broader agenda to enhance service delivery. “As your government, our duty is to serve you. Issuing these title deeds is a crucial element of that service,” he stated.
The recipients of the title deeds hail from various neighborhoods, including 14 schemes in areas such as Kayole, Dandora, and Patanisho. The governor encouraged these individuals to recognize the legal and financial advantages that accompany land ownership.
“With a title deed, you gain the ability to secure loans and bequeath your land to future generations. It’s a powerful document,” Sakaja highlighted.
Furthermore, the governor issued a clear warning to land grabbers, asserting his administration’s resolve to reclaim illegally seized land. He reiterated his commitment to advancing service delivery and meeting the expectations of Nairobi’s residents.
