Women from pastoral communities have urged the government to make it easier for them to obtain official land titles.

The women, living on unregistered communal lands, want the government to compensate them directly for mega projects instead of channelling the money through county governments.

Speaking during the 9th edition of the Indigenous Women Council meeting in Laikipia County, the women lamented that, under the current arrangements, the national government has disbursed funds to devolved units for community lands that have yet to be registered as per the Community Land Act 2016.
