Kwale residents warned against selling their land at throw away prices

Kwale residents have been warned against selling their ancestral land at throw away prices.
On Sunday, Prof Halimu Shauri said selling land for short term gains is a disservice to future generations.
"Selling land will not get people out of poverty, the way out of poverty is to invest in land," he said.
Prof Shauri said one of the biggest problems in Kwale is the low literacy levels.
"Land is core of investment and a means of creating wealth. Kwale residents should be educated on how to make good use of their land," he said.
LAND CARTELS
He added that the county government should come up with policies to save its residents from land cartels.
He advised the county government to look for investors to partner with land owners.
"Making an agreement with an investor on a parcel of land is more sustainable as people will retain their parcels of land and at the same time earn money throughout the lease period," he said.
