The government has intensified efforts to protect public schools from land grabbing by accelerating the issuance of title deeds and undertaking fresh surveys to secure learning institutions on legally documented land.
Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome told the Senate that the Ministry is taking concrete administrative and legal measures to safeguard school property, citing the ongoing process to secure land occupied by Martin Luther Primary School in Nairobi as part of a broader effort to protect public institutions.
Appearing before the Senate to respond to questions from Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Marsabit Senator Mohamed Chute and Nominated Senator Hamida Kibwana, Wahome addressed concerns over ownership of school land, historical land transactions and delays in processing title deeds.
