The soft-spoken Zachariah Mwangi Njeru is the new sheriff at the Ministry of Lands. This is now a new-look ministry, with a much expanded mandate. It hosts three key State departments — Lands and Physical Planning, Housing and Urban Development and Public Works.
Lands and Physical Planning carries the traditional land delivery units of land policy, land administration, physical planning, adjudication and settlement, surveying and mapping and land registration.
