About 1,200 title deeds are lying uncollected at the Thika Lands Registry. This was discovered during a two-week exercise to re-arrange the registry, which is set to end mid this week. Mr Joel Mumu, who is leading the team from the Ministry of Lands headquarters, on Monday said the exercise is aimed at putting to order records following complaints from members of the public. “This exercise is aimed at putting to order our records after many complains from the public were recorded concerning this registry in the last two months. We are dedicated and committed to offer the best,” he told journalists while at Thika land registry. He revealed that the ministry is in the process of setting up a registry in each of the seven Sub counties in Kiambu County. “We intend to ease service delivery to the public and bring services close to them. We have 1,200 uncollected title deeds which triggered us to initiate a rearrangement project that will take us 14 days,” he said. Mumu said the clean up exercise was initiated by cabinet secretary Charity Ngilu, saying the same exercise is currently on going in other counties.
