With the current job market not favourable to most Kenyans, some have resorted to a life of crime, specifically defrauding unwitting citizens in several schemes, including sales of fake land.
In most cases, victims do not realise they have been duped until they have to present their title deeds for verification of any kind, and it is deemed fake.
Therefore, Kenyans must learn how to verify their title deeds, as the Ministry of Lands has estimated that over 10 per cent of title deeds in circulation may be fraudulent.
Besides fake title deeds, there are other land scams perpetrated through double selling, ghost plots, fake companies and selling land that does not belong to them.
