The Government has issued 986 title deeds at the Kisima Settlement Scheme in Njoro Sub-County, Nakuru County, in a ceremony held on January 30, 2026.
The ceremony was led by the Cabinet Secretary, Alice Wahome, alongside the Lands and Physical Planning Principal Secretary, Generali Nixon Korir.
During the ceremony, the CS emphasised that the exercise represented more than land allocation, describing it as a restoration of dignity, stability, and hope for the affected families. She noted that despite prolonged legal challenges and historical disputes, the Government remained committed to a fair, transparent, and lawful process, fulfilling its promise to settle the landless.
“Today is more than a land allocation exercise; it is the restoration of dignity, stability, and hope. After years of waiting, uncertainty, and court processes, the 433 families who were displaced can finally call Kisima home. This Government made a promise to settle the landless, and today we are fulfilling it,” The CS stated
Of the 986 title deeds issued, 433 were allocated to settled Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at Kisima, 30 to public utilities, 45 to former workers, and the remainder to the Kiptuko Group.
Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika also expressed her joy at the development, noting that the IDPs would now be able to settle, build homes, and plan for the future without the uncertainty that had previously defined their lives. She described Kisima as transforming from a farm into a community of hope and opportunity.
“Today is a day of joy for Njoro and Nakuru County. Families who have waited for years can finally settle on their own land, build their homes, and plan for the future. Kisima is no longer just a farm; it is a community of hope, opportunity, and new beginnings,” the Governor stated.
Also in attendance were the Nakuru County Commissioner, local Members of Parliament, Members of the County Assembly, and other community leaders.
The 1,112-acre Kisima farm was acquired by the Government in 2012 through the Settlement Fund Trustees with the primary objective of resettling 433 IDPs who had been living in pipeline areas within Nakuru County.
This was a fulfilment of President William Ruto’s long-standing promise to issue title deeds to residents of Nakuru County, with a focus on resolving historical land disputes and resettling displaced families.
Earlier in October 2025, the government successfully issued 2,752 title deeds to residents of Kiptangwanyi in Gilgil Constituency, ending a 50-year wait for legal land ownership documents.
