We will not tire until millions of coastal residents get title deeds, Kindiiki says

Deputy President Kithure Kindiiki affirmed the Kenyan government's commitment to ending the decades-long neglect and underdevelopment of the coastal region by issuing title deeds to thousands of residents. The DP highlighted that the issuance of these deeds is a crucial step towards restoring dignity and ensuring better lives for millions of coastal residents who had been deprived of land ownership for years.

At a recent event in Kwale County, Kindiiki issued title deeds to 20,000 residents of Kalalani in Kinango Constituency, Kwale County. This move is part of a larger effort to fulfill a major promise made during the campaign, which included addressing land issues in the coastal region. Since President Ruto assumed office in 2022, hundreds of thousands of residents have received the vital land ownership document.

Kindiiki emphasized that the delivery of these titles is a fulfillment of a long-standing promise to the people of the coastal area, who have endured failed promises since the county gained independence 63 years ago. The DP urged the residents to support President Ruto's reelection, stating that the government is committed to addressing any issues and providing faster resolutions.

Looking ahead, the government plans to invest in various development projects in the coastal region. These include building 294 kilometers of roads at a cost of 17.2 billion shillings, connecting 15,300 homes to electricity, constructing modern markets, affordable houses, and students' hostels. The construction of the Mwache dam, which will benefit Kwale and Mombasa residents, is nearing completion.

Kindiiki reiterated the government's support for equitable development and its commitment to national unity and nationwide development. He warned against being misled by proponents of division and marginalization, emphasizing that the President is being supported for his insistence on equal treatment of all Kenyans.
