A land crisis is looming in Nyamira as the newly inaugurated Nyamira Municipality embarks on transformation of the town, which hosts the county headquarters.

The municipality’s manager, Jackson Mogusu, said the town had run out of public space as much of the land is under absolute titles, meaning the original owners are the ones still holding the rights over the property.
