The beneficiaries include members of 14 county schemes in Nairobi residing in Kayole Soweto, Sharp Corner in Dandora, Matopeni Spring Valley, Patanisho in Lower Savanna and Pumwani.
Others are Dandora Phase II, Mathare North, New Pumwani, Humama in Komarock, Jua Kali Sector B in Kariobangi South, KCC in Mowlem, Umoja One and Umoja Innercore.
The move will now address a long-standing issue where 50 per cent of county allotment land remains untitled and unrated, despite allocations that were made over 45 years ago.
Sakaja reassured the public that the title deeds being distributed are fully verified.
“Many people have faced a lot of challenges just to attain their title deeds which is not supposed to be the case. It is your right to get the title deeds,” he said at Charter Hall, Nairobi.
“I can assure you that the 912 title deeds we are currently giving have been verified and do not have cases or issues.Hizi ni title zenyu.”
The county boss highlighted that in the past 24 months, his administration has issued 7,000 title deeds to individuals and public institutions across the city.
Sakaja reaffirmed his commitment to continuing this exercise, which is part of his broader strategy to transform Nairobi into a well-managed and orderly city.
“This effort is part of my administration’s broader commitment to transforming Nairobi into a well-managed, orderly city, focusing on improving public infrastructure, education, and land administration,” he added.

“A title deed is an important document in this county. It unlocks economic security for you and your families. Securing these titles would allow residents to invest more confidently in their properties, creating jobs and improving living standards,” Sakaja said.
The Governor also issued a stern warning to defrauders and land grabbers.
“ Those who are used to grabbing land, your days are numbered,” Sakaja said.
