📌 What You Need to Know

ArdhiSasa is the government's digital platform for accessing land information and processing various land-related services, allowing users to conduct transactions without having to rely entirely on physical government offices.

The downtime may affect access to services offered through ArdhiSasa, including land searches, property transfers, title and lease registration, stamp duty payments, land administration, survey and mapping, valuation, land-rent payments and other land-related transactions.

The latest outage comes after concerns were raised over the reliability of the platform following reports of prolonged unavailability earlier in September.

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) had raised concerns over the continued unavailability of ArdhiSasa from September 1, 2026, highlighting the impact disruptions to the digital land system could have on property transactions and access to land services.

The concerns emerged as county governments have increasingly turned to digital land records and geospatial technologies to improve revenue collection, physical planning and public administration.

The broader digitisation push is being supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with the Council of Governors (CoG) through a digital land governance programme targeting all 47 counties.
