Kenya: Lands transactions will be suspended for 10 days starting today to facilitate reforms at the central registry, Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu has announced.
But the National Lands Commission (NLC) has termed illegal the shutdown that effectively halts issuance of title deeds countrywide. Commission vice chair Abigael Mukolwe insisted offices would open as usual, throwing service delivery into confusion.
Ngilu, in an advert appearing in the daily newspapers, announced the department would be closed for 10 working days starting this morning, to review central land registries and services would resume on May 19.
