All Title Deeds to Be Allied With Geographical Coordinates in Bid to Stop Land Fraud

The government is in the process of cleaning all title deeds to ensure they have corresponding geographical coordinates.

This is in what President Uhuru Kenyatta says is part of his administration’s efforts to stop land fraud.

Speaking during the marking of the 2021 Mashujaa Day in Kirinyaga County, the President noted that the cleaning process will help “stamp out fake titles and restore the sanctity of the title deed.”

The head of state also noted that the Ministry of Lands is undertaking digitization of the land registries after a messy manually managed system for the past 125 years.

“Some of this mess was deliberate, engineered to facilitate land theft and corruption. But with the help of this youth-led team, we have begun the process of digitizing the land registry. What has surprised us, as we reference title deeds with geographical coordinates, is the historical fraud in our land sector. We have found private land titles to roundabouts in major highways and to airport runways. And all this was because titles were issued without reference to geographical coordinates or what experts call geo-referencing,” Uhuru noted.

According to the president, one of the major advantages in digitizing the land registry under the system known as ‘Ardhi Sasa’ is that where once it took a minimum of six months to do a single land transaction, that period has now been reduced to 48 hours (2 days) in the registries already digitized.

“Where once it took between one and three months to obtain an official land search, the “Ardhi Sasa” system will give you land search results in 3 to 5 minutes. And now with digitization, we have the platform to ensure that every inch of Kenya, is mapped and all areas eligible for allocation and issuance of titles have an accurate, secure, and fraud-free system for issuance,” he added.

President Uhuru further expressed optimism that after digitization, issues of land titling will be sorted out once and for all.

So far, the Jubilee government has already issued 5.3 million title deeds under manual registry in only 8 years which is the equivalent number of title deeds issued by the colonizers and the first three administrations combined in a total of 125 years.

“If we have achieved 5.3 million titles in 8 years under an archaic system, how much more will we achieve under digitization?” Uhuru posed.

How Women Can Protect Their Property Rights After Marriage

By
They say property has no gender, but history shows a different reality, where property ownership has favoured men. This inequality is still evident, especially when it comes to inheritance after the death of a spouse.  Even though Kenya’s 2010 Constitution guarantees equal rights for men and women, many women still struggle to secure their rights to property. So, how can women make sure their rights are respected after marriage? Baoriat Agencies explains six key ways to ensure fair property distribution in case of death or separation. 1. Registering Jointly Owned Property  When a couple buys property together, it’s important to register it under both names. This guarantees that the other automatically inherits the property if one partner dies. Make sure both names are clearly listed on the title deed as co-owners. 2. Joint Tenancy or Tenancy-in-Common There are two ways to share property: Joint tenancy : If one partner dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner. Tena...
