The Kitui County Government, in partnership with the European Union (EU) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), has intensified its land digitization programme through a comprehensive three-day plot verification exercise in Kamuwongo, Kyuso Ward. The initiative is part of the ongoing Digital Land Governance Programme aimed at modernizing land management systems across the county.
The exercise, which builds on previous successful verifications conducted in Sombe, Kwa Vonza and Ikutha markets, focused on online data collection, plot verification and validation. It also incorporated stakeholder training on the use and benefits of Land Information Management Systems (LIMS), a key tool in enhancing accuracy and transparency in land administration.
County officials noted that the digitization programme is helping address long-standing challenges such as double plot allocation, land ownership disputes, and unregulated development. The integration of advanced GIS technology is expected to streamline land-use planning and improve service delivery in Kamuwongo Market and beyond.
The County Government and FAO emphasized that the initiative is central to strengthening land tenure security, promoting orderly development, and supporting sustainable growth across all 47 counties. It’s also aligned with the broader goals of Kenya’s Vision 2030, which prioritizes equitable land access, improved food security, and enhanced livelihoods.
The ongoing digitization drive marks a major step toward more transparent, efficient, and secure land governance for Kitui residents.
