Missing Title Deeds For Affordable Housing Projects? Nairobi County Speaks

Date:

NAIROBI, Kenya – The Nairobi County Government has denied allegations that title deeds for the Pangani Affordable Housing Project and Jeevanjee Bachelors Estate are missing from its registry.

County Secretary Godfrey Akumali assured the public that the documents remain secure, dispelling concerns about the integrity of the affordable housing initiatives.

In a statement, Akumali clarified that the title deed for the 5.2-acre Pangani estate, registered as Nairobi/Block 40/474, is held by Muriu, Mungai, and Company Advocates.

The law firm represents Nairobi Pangani Estate Limited, the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) overseeing the project.

“The firm is facilitating the processing of sectional titles for the housing units being developed on the property. The certificate of lease for Pangani Estate was registered in the name of Nairobi City County on March 16, 2018, and later transferred to the SPV on September 20, 2018. No title is lost,” Akumali emphasized.

Meanwhile, Chief Officer for Urban and Housing Renewal Lydia Mathia provided updates on the construction progress.

The Pangani Affordable Housing Project is 45% complete, with plans for partial handovers every four months starting in January 2025. Full completion is targeted for the end of 2026.

Regarding the Jeevanjee Bachelors Housing Project, the county confirmed that its title deed, registered as LR No. 209/5458, is held by the National Bank of Kenya.

The document, registered under Nairobi Bachelors Estate Limited, was used as collateral to secure funding for the project.

Mathia noted that construction of the Jeevanjee project is 46% complete.

Affordable housing units are expected to be ready by December 2025, while market-rate units will be finalized by September 2026.
