The Institute of Surveyors of Kenya (ISK) has called on the government to adequately utilize technology through the digitization of land records to curb the issue of fraud within the sector.
Speaking during the Pre-Annual General Meeting (AGM) conference in Mombasa ISK President Eric Nyadimo said that the perennial problem is as a result of a lack of proper access to data. "No land should have more than one title deed.
The fact that we have not digitized properly our land records, sometimes you can have a situation where land is being surveyed more than once and because the records are not kept properly it can result to such cases like two title deeds for a single land hence, we must use technology to see all the land in perspective," he said.
He noted that the Ministry of Land should complete the digitization process since the country now has access to technology and this will solve fraud.
