The government has successfully issued 986 title deeds at the Kisima Settlement Scheme located in Njoro Sub-County, Nakuru County.
During the deed issuance event on Friday, January 30, 2026, Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome acknowledged the numerous court cases that have historically hindered progress. She emphasized that this milestone marks a transformative moment for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who have faced homelessness for 18 years.
“Today transcends mere land allocation; it symbolizes the restoration of dignity, stability, and hope. After enduring years of uncertainty and legal battles, the 433 families displaced can finally designate Kisima as their home. This government remains committed to addressing the needs of the landless, and today we are delivering on that promise,” stated the CS.
This initiative follows the earlier successful issuance of 2,752 title deeds to residents of Kiptangwanyi in Gilgil Constituency, concluding a 50-year wait for legal land ownership documents.
Among the 986 title deeds issued, 433 were allocated to settled IDPs at Kisima, 30 to public utilities, 45 to former workers, and the remaining titles were distributed to the Kiptuko Group.
Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika remarked that previous administrations failed to adequately support the IDPs, but now their time has come.
The county government pledged to assist these families in rebuilding their lives, recognizing that many lack sustainable sources of income.
“Today represents a moment of joy for Njoro and Nakuru County. Families who have waited for years can now settle on their own land, construct their homes, and envision their futures. Kisima is no longer merely a farm; it has transformed into a community filled with hope, opportunity, and new beginnings,” the governor expressed on X.
The IDPs have long voiced their concerns to the government while residing in Pipeline Nakuru, and it was only after President Ruto’s directive that the processing of their documents was expedited.
The 1,112-acre Kisima farm was acquired by the government in 2012 through the Settlement Fund Trustees, aimed primarily at resettling the 433 IDPs who had been living in pipeline areas within Nakuru County.
