This was decided by the Council of Ministers of Kenya, issuing a directive to eliminate unnecessary costs imposed on Kenyans, but also on foreigners wishing to operate a business in Kenya.
The directive is part of a series of maneuvers designed to prevent the problems that Kenya has always had, especially with regard to boast lands confiscated or even no real right. Actions for which own the Kikuyu, the tribe of the President, has been repeatedly called into question.
The directive also plans to reduce bureaucratic procedures that characterized the operations on the earthly properties for decades.
The President Kenyatta said that during his tenure has issued more than three million property titles that had no owner, especially to those families who already possessed by ancestral rights.
The Ministry of Lands is also working on the digitization of the entire land registration services and real estate practices.
