Residents of Chemelil area along the borders of Nandi and Kisumu Counties living on 1,400 hectares of land are set to receive title deeds from the National Lands Commission. In a meeting held at Chemelil that brought together locals, leaders and officials from the National Lands Commission. Officials led by Gerald Okumu revealed that the residents will receive their tittle deeds as soon as possible adding that the commission is working on it. They urged the border residents to exercise cohesion and integration by living peacefully as one family citing that cattle rustling is a retrogressive culture that has been overturned away thus should end it.
On the other hand Nandi Governor Stephen Sang said the first priority when allocating land should be settling the squatters and plan for the current and future generations. He affirmed that the available land should be put into use by constructing schools, hospitals and higher institutions of learning as away of planning for the future generation, thus urged the NLC to consider this during the subdivision of the Chemelil land. Area MP Julius Melly said that his wish is to ensure squatters are well catered for and lauded the NLC for sorting out the issue.
