Land administration: The invisible highway of capital
For generations, land and property have remained the preferred destination for Kenyan capital because real estate offers security in uncertain times, preserves wealth across generations, and creates opportunities for development, rental income and enterprise.
Every economy has its visible monuments. Roads carry goods from farms to markets, ports connect producers to global consumers, power lines illuminate factories and homes, and fibre-optic cables move information across continents in milliseconds.
These are the infrastructures we see and readily associate with economic growth. Yet beneath every thriving economy lies another form of infrastructure, one that rarely appears in photographs, ribbon-cutting ceremonies or development plans. It carries neither people nor products but instead carries capital, and in Kenya it may be among the most important and least appreciated drivers of economic growth.
