Land is a vital part of the production sector considering that any development occurs in a spatial environment.

The department in conjunction with the various Government agencies will ensure security of tenure for both County and Private Land to spur investment.

County Government land will be secured through acquisition of titles for both reserved public user land and the acquired parcels by the county government.

Housing Programme is among the Big Four Agenda pillars where the department has programmed construction of official Governor’s and Deputy Governor’s residences and government units for office accommodation and maintaining of government quarters.

The department is continuing to offer solid waste, management services in urban centers and markets to keep them tidy. The services are development in nature though they would be well managed by use of hired labourers. Urban centres are being re-organized by putting up modern stalls in towns for lenders.

The department’s proposed programmes under Urban Development are aimed at achieving sustainable urban centres by making towns and markets inclusive, safe and resilient.

The County Spatial Plan will be implemented upon completion. This will be done by the Directorate of Physical Planning and Urban Management. The implementation of the spatial plan will direct the county spatial environment in a bid to control and direct developments in the county.

Management and coordination of the activities of Urban Areas and Towns is also part of the departmental mandate.

This will be done through respective Municipalities and Town Management Committees. The Busia and Malaba Municipality Boards will be facilitated so as to discharge their functions effectively.

The Municipality, Towns and markets in Busia County are hubs for ideas, business, productivity and social development and have enabled communities to live and advance socially and economically.

The department is keen on development of county spatial plan, survey of public land, purchase of public land for county government projects and titling/registration of public land in the Financial Year 2020/2021.

This will also include putting up of Government units for office accommodation and maintenance of existing government quarters, providing land for construction of house units in line with the National Government’s Big Four Agenda on affordable housing.

Cleaning of urban centres and markets is key in promoting good business environment and the department is giving priority under solid waste management Programme. Urban centres are being re-organized by putting up modern stalls in towns for traders.

The department will also upgrade and modernize towns and urban centres through the urban development Programme and putting up modern stalls in towns to make them business hubs thus increasing their productivity.
