Security of our land registers, maps is sacrosanct and must be protected

I recently wrote about emerging forms of private land grabs. I have since received some humbling feedback. In one case, a proprietor’s green card, which bears ownership details, was irregularly removed. It was replaced by another bearing the details of a totally different person.

In another, a family processing succession found some of the land parcels which were part of their deceased father’s estate irregularly transferred to other persons. Surprisingly, the involved land registries are in rural counties. Most land fraud has hitherto happened within the highly urbanised counties, with Nairobi in the lead.
