ALL LAND RECORDS TO BE FULLY DIGITIZED BY 2029 UNDER ARDHISASA SYSTEM

Ms Wahome, who noted that the National Lands Management Information System (NLMIS), dubbed the ‘Ardhisasa system’, was currently fully operational in Nairobi and Murang'a Counties, said it would cost the government Kshs 15 billion to carry out the first phase of the digitization exercise and a further Kshs 15 billion to fully conclude the process. The Cabinet Secretary disclosed that digitization of land records at the Mombasa lands registry was 50 percent complete. She assured that the Ministry will be finished with digitizing land registries at Isiolo, Marsabit and Machakos counties within the next few months. Ms Wahome, who conducted an unannounced inspection of the Nakuru Lands Registry on Thursday afternoon, issued a strong warning against corruption, inefficiency, and outdated practices that facilitate fraud. The Cabinet Secretary, who was accompanied by County Commissioner Mr Lyford Kibaara and Deputy Governor Mr David Kones, said under her leadership, those entrusted with responsibilities in the sector must protect public resources and improve service delivery.
