    "content": "(e)The Ministry wishes to assure investors that, in spite of all the cases of land fraud discovered or reported now and again, the title deeds and other records are safe. In connection to this critical and wanting issue inherent in our manual paper-based system currently in use, in the last two years, the Ministry has embarked on a comprehensive computerization project that includes safeguarding of all existing land records and re- engineering of the current lengthy and archaic processes. The system is, therefore, going to be geographic information based land management system. The projects mentioned under (d) above involve verification, scanning and computerization of land information to prevent any records interference. So far, over 70 per cent of the records in the Registry in Nairobi have been computerized. The remaining 25 per cent will be finalized by the end of this financial year. But it is important to note that the foregoing achievement is only an eighth of all the records country wide, which has already cost the Ministry over Kshs800 million. To fully operationalize the national land information management framework, the Ministry will require an amount of Kshs7 billion. That is when we can really guarantee the safety of records and title deeds. The current funds allocated to those projects through the Development and Recurrent Votes is only about Kshs200 million per year. That funding is far below the target of the GIS based and new land information system under the Vision 2030. It is, therefore, critical to re-think the issue of funding towards that cost intensive project that will guarantee Kenyans and all investors effective and efficient land management systems. I thank you. I will now table all the records involving that transaction."
