Advocacy in Action: Our Visit to Ardhi House

A key part of our mission is to represent the community's interests directly with the government. In a significant step to address the long-standing land issues in Mtangani, representatives of the Mtangani Development Project visited Ardhi House, the headquarters of the Ministry of Lands, to meet with the Permanent Secretary of Lands.

The primary goal of this visit was to seek the government's assistance in resolving the Title Deed issue that has been a source of uncertainty for our community for many years . The history of the land, particularly concerning the Gede/Mtangani group ranch, has been complex, involving disputes and disagreements over ownership that have affected the lives of many residents .

This visit is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that the voices of the Mtangani people are heard and that we can achieve a lasting, legal resolution to secure our land rights.
