Members of the Kisumu Centre Jua Kali Artisans Association are set to receive a title for a piece of land donated to them by former President Daniel Moi.
Chairman of the Kisumu Centre Jua Kali Artisans Association Jacob Copako said they are at advanced stage to get the land title deed from the Ministry of Lands Headquarters in Nairobi.
Speaking in Kisumu on Friday during the Association’s Annual General Meeting held at Kamas, Mr Copako said the land which they are pursuing to get a title deed was donated to the association by retired President Moi.
Copako said the pursuit for their land title deed has taken more than 20 years, adding that he strongly believes that they will possess it.
He said the matter of the association not having the title deed for the land which measures about eight hectares.
“As the chairman of the association and my team, we are really working on tirelessly to get a land title deed for this land which was donated to the association by former President Moi and I believe we will succeed in getting the land title deed,” Copako said.
Copako said the issue of not having the title deed has slowed the development to take place on the land.
The chairman said they will use the title deed to develop the land for the benefit of all the association’s members.
He said the association has a total of 2,600 registered members who are doing their work at the land.
Copako said there are also many people who work at the Jua kali place in Kisumu but are not registered members.
He further said he has greater plans to ensure his team brings development to the Association’s members.
“We have an elaborate development plans for this Association and its members so that each and every one of us become self reliance,” Copako added.
