ON THE RADARPresident William Ruto is expected to issue 36,826 title deeds to residents of five constituencies in Kilifi County as he continues his development tour of the Coast region.
The beneficiaries are drawn from Kaloleni, Rabai, Ganze, Kilifi South and Malindi constituencies, where the issuance of the documents is expected to address longstanding land ownership challenges.
The exercise is part of the President’s administration’s broader efforts to resolve historical and administrative land challenges in the Coast region, where disputes and uncertainty over ownership have remained a longstanding concern.

The land ownership programme is part of the government’s wider efforts to address historical injustices and disputes that have affected communities in the Coast region for decades.
