President Uhuru Kenyatta has ssued title deeds to the residents of Taveta County, part of the 20,000 title deeds the Jubilee Government has issued in Taita-Taveta.
The President, who spoke when he addressed a rally in Taveta town, urged residents to vote for Jubilee candidates in the August 8 election so that he can have people to work with to deliver more development to the residents.
Deputy President William Ruto said the Jubilee Government has undertaken unprecedented development in Taita-Taveta County.
“Uhuru has just opened the Mwatate-Taveta road and has delivered 20,000 title deeds for residents and the Government has also upgraded the hospital in Taveta,” said the Deputy President.
