The Jubilee administration has been dealt a blow following cancellation of title deeds issued by President Uhuru Kenyatta three years ago in Kwale County.
National Land Commission Chairman Muhammad Swazuri says title deeds issued to Golini adjudication area were erroneously given to non-locals, despite the fact that locals were occupying the land.
Kwale County Assembly Land Committee had recommended the revocation of the deeds.
The Committee argued that more ‘outsiders’ were issued with the documents than local squatters.
“We have a lot of issues in settlement schemes like Diani complex, Ukunda, Diani, Ramisi and Shimba hills,” said Swazuri, as quoted by the Standard.
The NLC boss assured that genuine locals will receive allotment letters before being issued with title deeds.
