Lawmakers have criticised the delayed digitisation of the Lands Management Information System, claiming that powerful individuals within the Ministry of Lands were frustrating the process to ensure corruption thrives.
MPs sitting in the National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) claimed that despite the digitisation process being launched in April 2021, unnamed individuals from within the Ministry had seemingly colluded with owners with huge tracts of land to impede the implementation of the system, much to the chagrin of Kenyans.
This came on a day that the Lands Principal Secretary Nixon Korir announced that the government was intent on expending Sh16 billion for the full digitisation of the Lands system within a period of five years.
