In an effort to streamline land transactions and promote transparency, the Government of Kenya introduced Ardhisasa — a revolutionary digital platform designed to modernize land management and eliminate historical inefficiencies. If you’re a property owner, buyer, investor, or simply interested in land matters, understanding Ardhisasa is essential.
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about Ardhisasa, how it works, and how it can benefit you.
🌍 What is Ardhisasa?
Ardhisasa is an online land information management system developed by the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning in partnership with the National Land Commission. Launched by former President Uhuru Kenyatta in April 2021, the platform aims to digitize all land records and automate land processes, starting with Nairobi County and gradually rolling out across the country.
The word “Ardhi” means “land” in Swahili, while “sasa” means “now,” emphasizing the system’s real-time, accessible nature.
