President Uhuru Kenyatta’s quest to automate land transactions will remain work in progress as the year ends after a taskforce looking into the issue had its term extended to February 2, 2019.

The Taskforce on Electronic Land Transactions, Registration, Conveyancing and other related activities is collecting views from the public ahead of full activation of a digital land transaction process—ranging from search, sale to transfer of ownership documents.
