The ministry of lands and the county lands department have been blamed for the delay in issuance of title deeds to Nairobi Eastlands residents.

Nairobi city assembly on Wednesday revealed that only 1,023 titles had been processed by the ministry in collaboration with the lands department since May 2018 to date, despite President Uhuru Kenyatta announcing that 100,000 deeds would be issued to Eastlands residents by the end of December 2018.
