Committee Queries Delayed Rollout of Land Record Digitisation.
MPs have questioned why Kenya's shift from paper land registries to digital records is running behind schedule.
Nairobi – The Public Accounts Committee has raised concern over the slow implementation of land records digitisation in the country.
Background
The Public Accounts Committee is the National Assembly watchdog that scrutinises the Auditor-General's reports on how public money has been spent, and it can summon accounting officers to explain delays or unexplained expenditure.
Kenya's land registries have historically been paper-based, a system long blamed for lost files, duplicate titles and fraudulent transfers. The Ministry of Lands has been migrating records onto the Ardhisasa digital platform, which was launched for Nairobi County in 2021 and has since been extended to further counties.
