Mombasa County Commissioner, Mohamed Noor Hassan addresses Mombasa Residents during Madaraka day celebrations held at Kidauni in Mombasa. June 1,2026(Omondi Onyango, Standard).
It was an exciting Madaraka Day for over 1,300 squatters in Ganda Ward, Kilifi County, after they secured ownership of the land they have occupied for decades.
The families secured the ownership of a 327.8-acre parcel of land in Mtakatieni village, Kijiwetanga, after a 12-year legal battle with absentee landlords.
The court recognised the squatters as the rightful owners through adverse possession after they proved they lived on the land continuously for over 20 years.
