Samburu County’s department of lands and urban development has since the onset of devolution engaged itself in some of the major projects on the road to the fulfillment of some of its key mandates. The department had so far prepared the county spatial plan and developed strategic urban development plans for some of the urban centers across the county. Title deeds were also issued for some of the community group ranches with more than 10,000 families benefiting from the title deed issuance project. More group ranches in the county are further expected to benefit from the issuance of title deeds. Various land adjudication tasks and the beaconing of various adjudication sections have also been undertaken. The department also carried out the implementation of the Maralal town masterplan.
