It will take another five years to fully conclude the digitisation of land-related records, Land Cabinet Secretary nominee Alice Wahome has said.
Wahome, who had appeared before MPs for vetting, further noted that it would cost the government between Sh35 billion to Sh40 billion to conclude the exercise.
“We are done with Nairobi and the exercise is ongoing in Mombasa. We will be finished with Isiolo within the next month,” she said.
The digitalisation which started back in the year 2018, is a rigorous process which includes validation and manual verification of the records of all the departments from different state departments.
Wahome said the ministry is working closely with 27 counties in conducting the exercise.
She was responding to a question by Likoni MP Mishi Mboko who wanted her to outline the digitisation roadmap
“The government has been allocating a lot of money towards the exercise for some time now. What is the roadmap?” she posed.
The government through the Ministry of Lands in consultation with key stakeholders in the real estate sector embarked on digitisation of land records to migrate information relating to land from manual registers to a digital database.
Digitisation derives its legality from the Land Registration Act No. 3 of 2012 which mandates land registrars to maintain land registers and documents relating to land in a secure, accessible, and reliable format including electronic files.
The Land Registration (Electronic Transactions) Regulations, 2020 also outline the legal framework relating to digitisation.
