Review of Existing Legislation / Processes

• Sectional Properties Regulations 2021- Provide clarity on the exemptions on what is meant by ‘mixed use development’ in terms of minimum acreage and diversity and ‘substantial transactions’.

• - Extend the current statutory timeline of 2 years for title conversion.

• - Simplify foreclosure procedures to promote mortgage lending

• on National Land Policy- The Policy is outdated and due for review, especially to align it with the 2010 Constitution.

• Update other laws and policies that are outdated and in need of revision/updating e.g., , Survey Manual, and the National Land Policy 2009;

Develop Regulations for Existing Legislation

• - Provide guidelines or procedures for applying for exemptions from converting long term leases to sectional titles.

• - Provide for the required guidelines/procedures to support geo-referencing and title migration.

Support implementation of Existing Legislation

• - Review the design and capacity of ArdhiSasa platform, to enable its functionality with speed and ease; support surveying of land parcels and digitization of land registries in all counties.

• - Expedite land title conversion processes

• Support development of land value indexes as pro; Kenya National Spatial Data Infrastructure Policy; and the National Land Surveying and Mapping Policy all exist but need to be finalized and operationalized.

Other non-legislative recommendations

1. The Department of Surveys should prepare and publish guidelines/procedures to inform the issuance of a unique prefix number to support geo-referencing of sectional units given that geospatial data remains uncoordinated;

2. Fast track/expedite title conversions and migration as required by the and the which is hampering financing since there is in place a moratorium on dealings/transactions on unmigrated land;
