Lands Cabinet Secretary Farida Karoney last year spoke about the digitisation of records at the Lands Ministry and how it would ease the property registration process.

An upbeat Karoney noted that the ministry had started testing the new system in Nairobi, which would bring down the process of registering land in Nairobi County from 73 days to 12 days, and that it had been a success.
