The County boss expressed optimism that the President Ruto led administration will restore the dignity of hundreds of families who are still struggling to get title deeds for their land as part of his transformative agenda in the land sector.

“I would like to call on youth to stop selling land given to them by their parents but instead put the property into proper use to uplift their standards of living,” said Bii.

Bii implored upon parents to start writing their Wills while still alive and strong for their children to avoid cases related to succession on property which he observed were rampant in the region.
