HUNDREDS FLOCK KAKO AND WAMBITI LAND SUCCESSION CLINICS

Hundreds of residents from Kako/Waia Ward in Makueni County gathered Thursday for a land succession sensitisation forum, in what is being hailed as a major step toward resolving long-standing inheritance and property disputes that have crippled land use and family relations in the region.

The forum is part of a broader initiative launched by Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr.’s administration aimed at tackling the deeply entrenched land succession crisis facing Makueni County residents.

The land succession clinics, spearheaded by the County Solicitor’s Office, are designed to educate residents on the legal pathways to resolve inheritance issues and formalize land ownership.

Addressing the crowd, Chief Officer for Public Service Management Catherine Katuti urged locals to take full advantage of the county government’s free legal support, emphasizing that unresolved succession issues remain one of the biggest hindrances to effective land utilization and economic development in the region.

Residents shared emotional testimonies of family breakdowns, generational disputes, and economic stagnation tied to unprocessed succession cases, many dating back decades.
