Lands CS Jacob Kaimenyi has said the government will issue more than 1,000 title deeds to public schools across the country.

Kaimenyi said the Rapid Response Programme launched in January has helped in surveying and titling of public land

“As you are aware, statutory fees for checking and registration have been waived by the ministry and the National Land Commission, following a Cabinet decision,’’ he said.

Kaimenyi was speaking on Friday when he presented title deeds to Hill School Eldoret.

Fouty-one per cent of the schools are at risk of being encroached. Kaimenyi said his ministry will not allow influential individuals to grab public land.
