@Thomas Your initiative is a noble one, but my concern is that land is a very very very sensitive issue, at a national level and also at a personal level. It is not a coincidence that all the worst conflict in Kenya can be traced back to land issues. In some parts of this country, even your own relatives will "finish" you if they find out you have some land somewhere. If you talk to someone who works at the land registry, you will realise the level of secrecy that is maintained with respect to land matters. For example, there are 99 year leases that continue to expire and these expired parcels are dished out to well connected people. I can assure you that the people guarding this information will never never never disclose it to anyone. As for http://www.kenyalandregistry.com/ - There is no way, NEVER EVER, that I will disclose what land I own and where. Even if I have an eighth of an acre..NEVER !!!! Putting such info on a public website is over exposing oneself. Timo. On 12/6/11, James Mutuku <listmutuku@gmail.com> wrote:

@ Thomas,
I love your idea. It will also probably work.
We should create a webpage that launches a form you can enter what you own and this can build the database. Probably needs to be hosted abroad. Secured against DDOS and other forms of tampering.
I can see why a common mwananchi would be willing to make this information public but not the huge landowners. would be useful.... On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 11:34 AM, m mugo <mugo2of3@gmail.com> wrote:

The truth remains the same you are trying to remove a piece of meat with a tooth pick in the molars of a lion's mouth. careful brethren but you are very right, I suggest the luring of one of the Aspiring presidential candidate to have it as a manifestos, the others will copy him amd that way it may buy its ways in slowly but not quickly. that is my opinion.

Hi Ndungu, did the project only stop because of a lack of funding? and certain members pulled out..?
I've also been wondering if there isn't a way to flag parcels, that have been "grabb'ed" / should not be occupied due to infringement on specified by-laws or environmental policy. Anywho.
I think We'are heading to a space where this information will be available in part or wholly available via the open data portal. If in part. I suspect some very interesting mash ups will come out of it.
