Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has assured members of the Single Mothers' Association of Kenya (SMAK) that they will finally receive ownership of a 0.2-hectare parcel of land, ending a dispute that has persisted since 1991.

The association has spent more than three decades seeking a title deed for the land, with little success. Sakaja affirmed that the 0.2 hectares legally allocated to the group will be secured.
