THE recent reorganisation at Ardhi House is bearing fruits, the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya has said.
Chairman Paul Wambua said the clean up has made transactions in the sector easier.
He urged Lands Secretary Charity Ngilu to organise other registries in the country.
Speaking to the Star in Nairobi on Thursday, Wambua however said much still needs to be done to improve service delivery.
Wambua said the disagreement between the Lands ministry and the National Land Commission during the clean up was unfortunate.
“Mediation would have played a big role at that time. As you know,the commission is too young and is still putting up structures. It therefore needed support from all the stakeholders instead of unnecessary tussles,” he said.
Ngilu had in May closed Ardhi House for 10 days to audit land files, a move the commission opposed.
Wambua said the tussle and the delay in finalising land laws and regulations are hampering reforms.
He urged Ngilu and NLC chairman Mohammed Swazuri to work to end the squabbles for the good of the public.
Wambua said he is confident the commission will solve the land issues in the county.
“Yes. However, it ought to be given adequate capacity to do so,” said the chairman when asked if the NLC has the ability to solve land problems.
He said the government's plan to issue three million title deeds by 2017 will help address land problems in the country.
Wambua urged those issued with the document to stop selling their plots so as to avoid being perennial squatters.
