    "content": "Our suggestion is that, since everything that is strategic has to be followed by resources, all these departments should come together so that we can utilise the available resources to digitise the management of land. There are issues to do with riparian land. Before one constructs a building, he or she is supposed to undergo very many processes. There are many authorities which are supposed to approve any construction. When it comes to environmental issues, there is NEMA. When it comes to land issues, there is the Ministry. When it comes to construction of buildings, there is the National Construction Authority (NCA). All these agencies are supposed to contribute for one to be given approval to construct. It is sad for one to be given approval to construct and subsequently be told that whatever he has invested his money in is supposed to be demolished. This happens long after officials of the regulating agencies have been changed. The best way of dealing with this situation is to come up with a policy of ensuring that every person who gives approval to an investor to construct a building on riparian land takes responsibility. It is sad for investors and many investors are moving away because there is no guarantee when it comes to investments in Kenya. I beg to reply."
