The government has established a new taskforce to improve access to the estates of deceased relatives for thousands of Kenyans facing delays in the succession process.
The taskforce will also spearhead reforms in the Public Trustee Department to allow easy processing of property belonging to minors, persons of unsound mind and trusts held by the State.
The taskforce has been given four months to conduct a comprehensive audit of the department, streamline the administration of estates and trusts, clear case backlogs, and recommend legal and institutional reforms to enhance service delivery.
Speaking during the inauguration of the Task Force on the Incorporation and Institutional Transformation of the Public Trustee Department at Sheria House in Nairobi, Attorney General Dorcas Oduor said many Kenyans have suffered for years due to delays in the administration of estates.
