The Kirinyaga county government has established a Geographic Information System (GIS) lab to improve service delivery at the local department of lands.
The lab, which is pivotal to digitization of land records, will enable the County Government to streamline operations and enhance customer service, transparency and accuracy and will go a long way in eliminating fraud and grabbing of public land.
The GIS lab has been established in collaboration with the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) with the aim of modernizing land governance processes and promotion of sustainable land development.
Kirinyaga is predominantly an agricultural county which heavily depends on natural resources with land being a fundamental asset for economic growth.
