The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has raised concerns over delays and other challenges affecting land administration and conveyancing services in Kenya.
The concerns were presented during a courtesy call by an LSK delegation led by President Charles Kanjama to Principal Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning Nixon Korir at Ardhi House in Nairobi.
The engagement focused on practical challenges faced by advocates and members of the public, including delays in land transactions, standardisation of registry processes, valuation and stamp duty issues, and the functionality of the National Land Information Management System (NLIMS).
The Society also called for stronger and more structured engagement between LSK and the State Department to address challenges affecting land-related services.
LSK presented a memorandum outlining concerns raised by its members, alongside proposals aimed at improving transparency, accountability and efficiency in land administration.
Following the meeting, the two sides agreed to establish a structured technical engagement to address the issues raised, improve communication on stalled matters and restore regular institutional consultations.
The LSK delegation included Deputy Chief Executive Officer Charles Owiti, as well as representatives from the Conveyancing and Real Estate Committee and the Land and Natural Resources Committee.
The engagement comes amid continued efforts to improve the efficiency of land administration and conveyancing services, which are critical to property transactions and the wider real estate sector.
