The lands registry at Thika will soon resume normal operations as the ongoing reorganisation nears completion.
This is according to Thika Land Registrar Bernard Ngetich who says the reorganisation has been going on for the last three months.
Speaking in his office when he took the press on a tour of the registry on Friday, Ngetich said that they brought on board more than 50 university students and officers from Records Management Headquarters. He said they have managed to arrange the registry that has records that date back to 1976 for land cases from Murang’a, Kiambu and Thika.
He said that the Thika lands office had been experiences cases of high-tech fraud and was among the first three registries to be closed down in 2014 by the suspended Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu.
“Land brokers will be eliminated and access to land documents will be made easy as the rot that characterised the registry will be dealt with permanently,” said Ngetich.
He said that there was a major reshuffle at the Thika office with some of the officers being interrogated over involvement in land fraud. He says that after the reorganisation members of the public would be assured of better services.
