Ruto to issue nearly 200,000 title deeds as he begins Coast tour
Ruto will begin the tour in Taita-Taveta, where he is scheduled to issue 31,318 title deeds to beneficiaries in Mwatate and Voi constituencies.
President William Ruto is set to commence a development tour of Kenya's Coast region on Saturday, aiming to issue nearly 200,000 title deeds and break ground for the massive East Africa Refinery project in Lamu. The six-county tour includes Taita-Taveta, Kwale, Kilifi, Mombasa, Tana River, and Lamu, where Ruto will inspect ongoing projects and launch new developments.
In Taita-Taveta, he will distribute 31,318 title deeds to beneficiaries in Mwatate and Voi constituencies. Moving to Kwale, 94,175 title deeds will be issued to residents of Lunga Lunga, Msambweni, and Kinango. Kilifi will see the distribution of 36,826 title deeds to citizens of Kaloleni, Rabai, Ganze, Kilifi South, and Malindi.
Mombasa will receive 4,360 title deeds, while Lamu and Tana River counties will each get 22,770 title deeds. The total number of title deeds to be issued across the region is 189,439. These documents are intended to provide beneficiaries with formal land ownership records, fostering economic activity and resolving long-standing land ownership issues.
The Coast tour will also include the groundbreaking ceremony for the East Africa Refinery on September 30, a $15-17 billion project led by Nigerian industrialist Aliko Dangote. The refinery, with a processing capacity of 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day, aims to strengthen regional energy security, support industrialization, and create employment opportunities.
