Police said the two suspects were among a team of IT experts who had been contracted to digitize records at the National Lands Commission (NLC).
Kilimani DCI officers presented the suspects in court and were granted three days starting Thursday to hold the suspects for further questioning.
In May 2014 a security guard manning the Lands ministry offices was arrested by the police over theft of the computers.
The guard is said to have informed police officers at Capitol Hill Police station that some staff had walked out of the office with computer accessories.
At the time the ministry’s CCTV cameras were said to be faulty.
