President William Ruto concluded an eight-day tour of the Coast region by issuing title deeds and warning absentee landlords against frustrating land redistribution efforts.

• President Ruto issued 20,189 title deeds in Lamu, a stark contrast to Mombasa's allocation of only 4,360 title deeds.
• The administration is engaging absentee landlords to surrender land to squatters, a move expected to benefit over 200,000 households.
• The tour also highlighted the Sh2 trillion Dangote East Africa Petroleum and Petrochemical Special Economic Zone in Lamu, with an additional Sh7.5 billion allocated for housing.
