Nation learnt that Likoni MP Masoud Mwahima and Mr Waitiki, who had maintained he bought the land about 40 years ago, attended the negotiations at State House Nairobi on Wednesday.
The Waitiki land dispute has been the subject of court cases since 1997.
Mr Waitiki was evicted from the land by youths during the 1997/8 Kaya Bombo clashes, claiming it belonged to their forefathers.
A dispute over the ownership of land in Mombasa is set to end after President Kenyatta announced on Wednesday a deal had been reached on the prime property.
In a statement from State House, the President said the government and Mr Evanson Kamau Waitiki, the owner of the Likoni land, had reached an agreement on how the 960-acre land would be adjudicated and title deeds issued to the people who occupy it.
