MOMBASA: More than 20,000 public primary schools are yet to secure title deeds, the National Lands Commission (NLC) has announced.

Speaking in Mombasa during the annual primary head teachers’ conference Monday, NLC Chairman Muhammad Swazuri said only 4,000 out of the 30,000 public schools have title deeds, sparking fears of encroachment by developers.
