The government has announced plans to safeguard heritage sites across the country from land encroachment and grabbing through a comprehensive land titling program.
Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Gender, Culture, Arts and Heritage, Hannah Cheptumo, said the initiative will involve collaboration between the national and county governments to preserve cultural and historical sites for future generations.
Speaking during a visit to Fort Jesus in Mombasa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the 16th century, Cheptumo said the government is committed to protecting such landmarks as part of Kenya’s cultural identity.
