- The statement in the image is real; it is a reported quote from Kenyan lawyer Danstan Omari on May 27, 2026.Omari raised these legal concerns regarding the security of investments in the government's Affordable Housing Program.
His statement highlights a potential risk where a future administration could theoretically use an executive order to challenge or nullify title deeds issued under the current program, especially if those projects are built on contested or public land.
Danstan Omari made these remarks during a media session on May 27, 2026, questioning the long-term security of investments in the Affordable Housing Program.
The statement uses "if" to present a legal scenario where a future president might use an executive order to nullify title deeds under the principle of nationalization. It is intended as a warning or a prompt for legal debate, not a statement that such an order exists or is currently planned.Current Status of Title Deeds: As of late May 2026, the government is actively issuing title deeds.
For example, President Ruto issued over 33,000 title deeds in the Coast region on May 21, 2026, and announced plans for another 200,000 in the following months.
The statement likely references ongoing public debate regarding an Auditor-General's report from April 2026, which found that nearly 70% of ongoing affordable housing projects initially lacked verifiable land ownership documentation.
