Vihiga County has installed a digital land information management system. The new system paves the way for Vihiga to retrieve old land records from Kakamega County.

Residents have been piling pressure on Governor Wilber Ottichilo's administration to recover all land records from Kakamega, which serves as Western region headquarters.
