Trans Nzoia County Assures Residents of Khalabana and Maridadi on KISIP II Implementation

Trans Nzoia County assures Khalabana and Maridadi residents of fair compensation under KISIP II, paving the way for transformative urban infrastructure and land tenure regularization.

Trans Nzoia County’s Chief Officer for Lands, Physical Planning, Housing, and Urban Development, Dr. Roselyne Nasiebanda, has assured residents of Khalabana and Maridadi informal settlements of fair compensation as part of the Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project Phase II (KISIP II). Addressing residents on Tuesday, Dr. Nasiebanda reaffirmed the county government’s commitment to ensuring a smooth and equitable process under the leadership of Governor George Natembeya.


Compensation and Land Tenure Regularization
Dr. Nasiebanda highlighted that the county government is in the final stages of collecting and verifying bank details for Project Affected Persons (PAPs). Once this process is complete, compensation will be disbursed, enabling the planning and issuance of title deeds to beneficiaries.

“We understand the concerns of the residents, and I urge you to remain patient as we finalize the verification process,” she stated. “Soon, you will have your land ownership documents.”


Infrastructure Upgrades and Economic Transformation
The KISIP II project is a collaborative effort between the county government, the World Bank, the International Development Association (IDA), Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the European Union (EU), and the Government of Kenya. The initiative aims to improve living conditions in informal settlements through enhanced infrastructure and secure land tenure.

Dr. Nasiebanda outlined key upgrades, including improved roads, better drainage systems, street lighting, and high-mast floodlights. These developments align with the national and county governments’ Affordable Housing Agenda and the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).

“These interventions will not only enhance living conditions but also contribute to economic and social progress for residents,” she said.


Community Optimism and Requests for Expediency
Residents expressed optimism about the project’s potential but urged the county government to expedite compensation and title deed issuance.

Peter Wekesa, a Khalabana resident, remarked, “We are hopeful that this project will bring real change to our community, but we request the county to ensure there are no delays in compensation.”

Dr. Nasiebanda responded by emphasizing the importance of patience and assured residents of progress, stating, “Once the land tenure process is complete, these settlements will witness transformative changes, including access to water, street lighting, and other essential facilities.”


A Vision for Sustainable Communities
Dr. Nasiebanda reiterated that KISIP II is not just about infrastructure improvements but also about fostering environmentally secure and economically viable communities.

“Through these interventions, we are building a better future for all,” she concluded.


The verification meeting was attended by key officials, including Trans Nzoia County KISIP II Project Coordinator Edith Baraza, Social Safeguards Officer Pamela Indimuli, Environmental Safeguards Officer Diana Modani, and Public Health Officer Peter Wekesa. Together, they reinforced the county’s commitment to delivering a brighter future for informal settlements through sustainable urban development.
