The Kisii County Lands Board has started a programme that will ensure that Kisii police station get a title deed for the land where the station is built.
This comes after the board held a meeting with the Kisii County surveyors, Kisii County Commissioner and the Kisii County Lands CeC and top police officers in the county and later on visited the land where they put up a fence to mark the boundaries of the land.
Speaking when they launched the exercise, the Kisii County Lands Board Chairperson James Ombasa said that most sectors of the government in the county have no title deeds for the lands where they are located or operate from, adding that the constructions of structures in the police station have been put on hold due to lack of title deeds.
He said most public land in the county which include land belonging to hospitals and schools have no title deeds.
“Today we started with Kisii town police station and we have brought surveyors to show us how many acres the land is so that they can be given a title deed to allow the police to build modern houses in the station because the houses they are currently using were built during the colonial times,” said Ombasa.
