The 'flood map' created by @citizentvkenya using AI is so bad even non mappers notice it and are pointing out the issues

[Citizen TV Kenya @citizentvkenya]

The way things are, Chipotle could invite the President of Kenya to launch their inaugural restaurant in Nairobi, and there's a decent chance he'd attend.

Day 3 at the FIG Working Week 2024. Learning about the efforts of Young Surveyors on land administration through a volunteering program. Open source tools such as QGIS, OSM, Postgres, and STDM are fundamental.

[Natasha Kimani @Wacera_K]

A failure in our land registration system

[Mwango Capital @MwangoCapital]

A good ruling from April 2023 to note on purchasing land in Kenya:

"The Supreme Court’s decision now mandates all purchasers to investigate the root of the Title to the property before proceeding with acquisition, for there will be no protection offered to a purchaser with respect to a Title whose root is defective or marred by illegality"
