Something has got to give. it doesn't make sense for for such things to be happening and we keep quite about it. I'm with you on the part that a certain level of privacy should be maintained. thats all well and good. we shall replace your name with a alpha numeric code and that issue will be sorted out. The Issue is those in office are the only ones in the know. and 99 year leases can not be expiring and privately dished out to individuals> there is due process that must take place. Land reverts back to state or what ever else should happen that we as a nation have agreed too not shady deals on the side. WTF. At the heart of it in the interest of the public. Government land should be identifiable. < state Enterprise land. Road reserve land, Environmentally protected land reserves, ETC That is public information nd that information should be clearly available and demarcated. Labeled. Accessible. At an individual level public information is the demarcations of land parcels. Plot xyz starts here and ends there. that is the neighbors land parcel, starts here and ends there. That is not sensitive information. I want to know what are officially recognized boundaries of adjacent plots. I as a buyer of property a should just follow a due process find out the history of the land from the Ministry and previous owner whom I am buying it from. and with in 3 - 6 months if subdivisions are made to land and sold these changes need to be reflected in the national registry that we can see only a part of. not the whole. When such a system of open access and updated and time valid information is available. Not only are we happier and comforted about it. but consider enhanced collection of land rates, by city councils, Tax revenue collection, roads, water, public amenity. You will have built a wholistic foundation private, city, regional, national can draw from the information that they need to enhance service delivery. ___________________ Sifa U.

What if the mapping was done for land that has been sold, how many times, "the title deed" no, leases etc and not the ownership?

@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.

@ 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:
