The National Land Commission (NLC) has invested Sh350 million in digitisation processes to curb corruption. The commission said it was limiting physical contact between officers and clients. NLC chairman Muhammad Swazuri (pictured) said they were collaborating with the Ministry of Lands, which has spent Sh900 million to ensure that operations are digitised.

"The contact between service providers in the Lands registry and clients is the main cause of corruption. The central registry in Nairobi is fully ditgitised. Kajiado, Nakuru and Kericho counties are partly digitised," he noted.
