Kenya is often referred to as the “Silicon Savannah” given the role of ICT in economic growth. Technology continues to impact most sectors and their operations. While keeping up with this trend, the government through the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning as well as key stakeholders in the real estate embarked on digitisation of land records.

Digitisation derives its legality from the Land Registration Act No. 3 of 2012, which mandates land registrars to maintain documents relating to land in a secure, accessible, and reliable format including electronic files.
