A grant title is an official document issued by the government to show the first ownership of a piece of land that was previously public or unallocated.
It is the initial title deed given when land is transferred from the state to an individual, organization, or institution.
This comes weeks after Lavington Primary School officially reclaimed its land title following a protracted 15‑year dispute.
The Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development formally restored the school’s full title deed during a ceremony held at the school premises on Saturday, June 12.
The parcel in question, approximately 13 acres officially allocated to the school since the 1960s, had seen parts irregularly allocated over the years through title misappropriations.
Persistent campaigning and document requests by the school culminated in decisive investigations involving the Ministry of Lands, the National Lands Commission, and other state agencies, ultimately exposing and reversing the land grab.
The title deed was officially handed over by Lands CS Alice Wahome who declared her intention to protect land set aside for education.
“The parcel of land, about 13 acres, is no longer in dispute. It belongs to Lavington Primary School,” she said.
