ODM Party leader Raila Odinga has accused the Jubilee government of hoodwinking Coast residents through issuance of title deeds.
Raila criticised the government over alleged failure to address historical land injustices in the region.
Speaking on Wednesday in Kaloleni, the opposition chief further accused the Jubilee administration of insincerity in resolving land matters at the Coast, and called for the full implementation of the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) report.
“They (Jubilee leaders) say that 600,000 titles have been issued here at the Coast. The problem of the Mijikenda Community was not titles, but the recovery of the chunks of their land that was grabbed during Jomo Kenyatta’s regime,” he said.
“Jubilee can not win votes by simply issuing title deeds for land that the residents already occupy. It has failed to address historical injustices on land outlined in the TJRC report,” he added.
Raila was accompanied by Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi and his Mombasa counterpart Hassan Joho.
