The essence of the platform, Uhuru pointed out, would be to speed up land transactions and enable the common mwananchi to access all services offered at the Lands ministry through the digital platform.
"At the click of a button, users will now be able to search and carry out various land transactions, drastically reducing human interactions, delays and other inconveniences previously experienced at land registries," the President stated.
