Without benchmarking, land reforms won’t go far

In the past two months, land issues have dominated discussions in public and private forums. Among the highlights of land matters during that period was the closure of national lands headquarters for 10 days, which reportedly resulted in one million files being recovered, referenced and filed accordingly.

It was also promised that one million title deeds would be issued by the end of the year and a further three million in the near future. National titling centre was also set up to speed processing of title deeds in land adjudication process using satellite imagery.
