I bought a plot in Kajiado County and engaged a surveyor who took measurements in line with a map obtained from the Ministry of Lands. A neighbour who bought an adjacent plot recently brought a map that allegedly shows that nearly half of his plot overlaps mine. He brought a surveyor who took measurements of the area and came up with the correct measurements as per the map. What does the law say about boundaries? Can such boundary disputes be resolved in court or by the land registrar?
Mark, Kajiado.
