Speaking at the Mbururii Grounds near Garissa Road Primary
School on Sunday, Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu said that his
administration had directed surveyors and land officers to fast track the
process adding that his move had been occasioned by indiscriminate grabbing of
public utilities in the area.
Waititu noted that once the residents got full ownership to
their land, this would be the end of political brokers who have been hoodwinking
locals by defrauding them.
“The surveyors will establish space for access roads,
erection of public facilities such as hospitals and markets. Thereafter, my
government will construct modern markets where you will be operating from. This
is a great opportunity for growth and we want our youngsters to progress and do
business like other people,” he said.
“Like we recently did with president Uhuru in Soweto,
Ngomongo and Korogocho in Nairobi, we are committed to issuing every one of you
a permanent settlement which can only be sealed by a title deed,” he added.
He promised immediate commencement of Kiandutu’s
rehabilitation program stating that he would start by establishing a modern
sewerage system and lighting program.
The governor was accompanied by MCAs Julius Macharia
(Witeithie) and Joakim Mwangi (Ngoliba).
