The President said this is aimed at resolving historical land disputes and issue title deeds to residents of the region without ownership documents.

“We are issuing title deeds in the coastal region to address the longstanding land problem that has made many residents squatters, denying them the socio-economic benefits of land ownership,” he said.

At the same time, President Ruto said the government will repossess grabbed land meant for a technical training college in Mombasa County.

He said the 12-acre Likoni Technical Vocational Education and Training College land will be fenced beginning Tuesday.

The President told the Coast regional security team to ensure the grabbed land was repossessed and fenced off.

Speaking when he opened the college on Monday, President Ruto said the government is speeding up the issuance of title deeds in an effort to bring to an end instances of land grabbing across the country.

“We are keen to ensure that title deeds are processed quickly to solve land problems at the Coast,” the President said.

At another function in Mombasa County, President Ruto gave out 450 title deeds to residents of Changamwe.

Earlier, the President inspected the ongoing construction of the 2,100 units housing project at Changamwe Constituency.

He said residents of Changamwe will benefit from affordable houses when the project in the constituency is complete, adding that the indignity of living in slums in the area would soon be a thing of the past.

“This transformative initiative is also expanding our manufacturing industry in the housing value chain and empowering low-income Kenyans to become home owners,” he said.

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki urged leaders to work together in addressing challenges facing Kenyans.

Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir told off those criticising former Prime Minister Raila Odinga over the formation of the broad-based government.

He said despite Mr Odinga losing the chairmanship of the African Union Commission, his supporters deserve a place in government. He also pointed out that ODM supporters were not meant to be in the opposition.
