Government Unveils Ardhi Sasa System to Stop Land Grabbing Through Alerts 

The National Government, through the Ministry of Lands, introduced the Ardhi Sasa system on Monday, July 8, aimed at curbing land grabbing and fraud.

Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome, speaking at the launch in Murang’a County, described the system as an enhanced version of the one previously used in Nairobi.

The new system will provide landowners with instant notifications if anyone attempts to access their land records. CS Wahome stated, reassuring Kenyans that:

Property owners were encouraged to register their land in the system, as alerts will only be sent to those who have entered their information into the Ardhi Sasa database.

Future Plans on Ardhi Sasa Implementation

Currently, the system is operational only in Nairobi and Murang’a counties, with plans to expand to Isiolo, Marsabit, and Mombasa before a nationwide implementation.

CS Wahome elaborated on the future of land records by explaining that:

The Cabinet Secretary hailed the launch of Ardhi Sasa as a significant achievement in the country’s development and land management system.
