A ray of hope has emerged for Guu Ng'ombe residents in Mwakirunge ward after the Mombasa County government initiated steps to resolve the long-standing land ownership dispute that has plagued the area for decades. Speaking during a public engagement forum, Lands CECM Mohamed Hussein assured residents that the process of issuing title deeds is on course, promising to end years of uncertainty over land tenure.
However, residents maintain that land ownership is only part of their struggles, citing chronic underdevelopment, poor road networks, inadequate water supply, and limited access to essential services. They were also urged to resist political manipulation by leaders seeking to exploit the land question for political gain, even as calls grow for the county government to match land reforms with tangible development projects.
