Kenya’s Digital Land Lease System has generated Ksh5 billion in revenue for counties in 2023 by streamlining leasing of public and community land. The platform, live in all 47 counties since February 2024, uses GIS mapping, e-signatures, and mobile payments to issue leases in 48 hours. Over 20,000 leases for agriculture, tourism, and housing have been issued, mostly in ASALs. Counties like Laikipia and Tana River report 70% increase in land revenue. The system curbs fraud and middlemen, with real-time tracking via SMS. It will integrate with the National Land Information System by 2025, completing Kenya’s land governance digital transformation.
