The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) Nyanza branch has called on the national government to stop the issuance of title deeds to schools until ownership disputes are resolved.

This follows a directive by President Uhuru Kenyatta early this year that the Lands Ministry issue all learning institutions with title deeds after the attempted grabbing of Langata Road Primary School in Nairobi.
