Land, in Kenya, is a treasured asset. Buying land exposes you to a myriad of challenges that include: double land purchases, con men and even purchasing land classified as riparian. Many land buyers have suffered huge losses incurred from dubious land deals.
If you are buying land from an individual or a group, please follow the following steps:
Ask to see the title deed or copy of title deed. Then do a search at the ministry of lands to confirm who the real owners are or if the title has any Caveat on it. The search will cost you Sh520.
Do a search with the local authorities to check for any unpaid land rates. If any, agree with the seller on who will settle the debt. Please note that land can’t be transferred if there are unpaid land rates.
Go to the ministry of lands and buy two maps, one showing the exact measurements of the piece of land you are buying (called mutation) and the other showing the neighbouring lands. Each costs Sh350.
With your 2 maps and a surveyor (you can even do it yourself) , visit the land you are buying and verify the details on the map. Check out all the beacons.
Sit down with the land seller and bargain the price. Write down an agreement. The agreement can be done before a lawyer or you may decide to do it yourself. It’s not a must to be written by a lawyer. According to the Law Society of Kenya, LSK, if the value of the land is below Kshs. 1 million, you pay the lawyer Kshs. 3,000. If above Kshs. 1m, you will have to part with Kshs. 8,000 for the agreement. The spouse, to the seller, MUST BE present during the negotiations.
Pay some portion of the agreed amount or as per your agreement. Don’t pay everything, at this stage!
Book a meeting with the Lands Control Board(LCB). They meet once a month. It will cost you Sh1,000. But there is a special LCB meeting which you can book at Sh5,000. LCB will issue consent for the land to be sold.
Pay the remaining balance after getting consent from LCB.
With the consent from LCB, a recent search(not more than 6 months), clearance form from County land rates, your 2 maps, the agreement, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) PIN, 2 Passport size photographs and copy of the title deed, go to the ministry of lands to change ownership. Where you will part with Sh5,000.
At this stage, you no longer need the seller. Now go and pay stamp duty ie according to the value of the land. 4% of sale value in municipalities 2%
A piece of Land put up for sale in KenyaN/B:
The search at the lands registry and the physical assessment of the property precedes any payment of anything. Do not buy property you have not seen. If buying from a company or other business association ensure that entity exists at the respective registry. You also need to check if the land is freehold or leasehold.
For leasehold, the owner of the land needs to be paying rent to the government unless the rent is peppercorn (basically peanuts). You will need to confirm the rent owed and pay to get a land rent clearance. The national Land Commission’s, NLC, consent is required where the land is leasehold.

Learners who sat for the 2019 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, KCPE, exams will know the secondary schools they have been selected to join; this week. The selection exercise for the over 30,000 students who will be joining the 136 National Schools, in January 2020, is now complete and the Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha is expected to announce the results on Monday.
The over one million learners who sat for the 2019 KCPE exams will be waiting with bated breadth to know which of the 10,000 Secondary schools they will be joining come January 2020.
NATIONAL SCHOOLS SELECTION.
The selection exercise for National schools kicked off immediately after the release of the 2019 KCPE results; on November 18 at Naivasha. All the 9,770 students who scored over 400 marks are assured of slots in the National schools. These will be joined by the top five boys and girls from each sub county countrywide; irrespective of the marks they scored. Other criteria like affirmative action have been put in place to ensure learners from marginalized areas are catered for.
Meanwhile, the regional selection exercise will be carried out between December 3 and 5 at designated venues across all the regions; countrywide. It is expected that all learners will be able to know the schools they have been selected to join in fortnight.
The selection of candidates to Extra-County schools is based on a ratio of 20:40:40. This means that 20% of available vacancies in an extra county school goes students from the Subcounty where the school is found. While the host county and other counties get 40% each.
On its part, the selection criteria for students joining County schools in based on the 20:80 ratio. This means that 20% of the available slots in a County school go the hosting Sub-County while the remaining 80% are shared among other Subcounties; in that County.
SELECTION RESULTS
After the selection is complete Parents/ Guardians will then be able to receive the selection results via the Short Text Message Service, SMS. The admission letters for the 2020 form ones will then be available at the Education Ministry’s portal for the students to download. The 2020 form ones are expected to report to their respective schools in January as the schools re-open for term one; as was the case in 2019.
GOVERNMENT’S 100% TRANSITION POLICY TO SECONDARY SCHOOL
The good news for the over one million 2019 KCPE candidates is that all of them will get vacancies in form one in 2020. “His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta has asked the Ministry of Education to ensure that every child who sits the KCPE Examination is admitted to secondary school under the 100 per cent transition policy. The aim of the Government is to ensure that all Kenyan children get basic education until Form Four,” said Education CS Professor George Magoha while releasing the 2019 KCPE results on Monday November 18, 2019. “I wish to assure the country that the Ministry has put in place measures to fulfil the 100 per cent transition policy in 2020. All the candidates whose results will be released today should expect to be admitted to Form One. The Ministry has already conducted a mapping exercise of vacancies in all categories of schools that will admit all the candidates,” added CSMagoha.
EXPANSION OF SECONDARY SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THE 100 PER CENT TRANSITION POLICY
The Kenyan Government has taken measures to expand the Secondary Schools infrastructure so as to accommodate the large numbers of admissions. “The Government is determined to address some of the expected challenges of the 100 per cent transition. As a result, the Government – together with development partners under the Secondary Education Quality Improvement Project – will roll out a Sh8 billion programme to build classrooms and laboratories in 110 sub-counties located in 30 counties next year. These classes will ease the pressure on the existing facilities in our secondary schools,” the CS said.
LAUNCH OF THE ELIMU SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME FOR NEEDY LEARNERS
The Government will from next year (2020) put 9,000 Form One students from targeted regions under a full scholarship programme called ‘ELIMU SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME’. Learners with over 280 marks have been urged to apply for the grant. The programme will be run under the Secondary Education Quality Improvement Project. Additionally, all the girls who will be selected as beneficiaries of the Elimu Scholarship Programme will also be supplied with free sanitary towels for the full period of their secondary school education.

The marking exercise for this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE, has been thrown into jeopardy after examiners for one of the papers downed tools. The examiners for Businness Studies Paper 2 is yet to kick off at Machakos girls after examiners downed their tools citing poor pay. They have hardly touched any paper despite the fact they reported to the Centre over the weekend.
Attempts by the Kenya National Examinations Council boss Dr. Mercy Karogo to calm the situation were met by spirited resistance from the examiners. The angry examiners booed her off the stage when she tried to address them today.
The KNEC boss was reportedly holed up in tensed meeting on Monday evening with senior examiners and her junior Secretariat staff (at the marking centre) in a bid to avert the crisis. This standoff is threatening to delay the release of this year’s KCSE results.

UTUMISHI BOYS ACADEMY’S BRIEF HISTORY
The idea of starting a school for police officers’ children was conceived in the early 1960s, however, it was until 1991 when the commissioner of police the late Philip Kilonzo began implementing the idea.
On 30th May 1991, the first steering committee was formed. Its first chairman was the former Senior Deputy Commissioner of Police, Hon Elijah Sumbeiywo. On December 30th, 1992, the principal Mr. Willie M. Mugoh was posted to the school. He was soon followed by twelve teachers. On 26th Jan 1993, the school admitted its first 80 boys and girls.
They were accommodated in the primary school since the complex had not been completed. Students used wooden houses in the anti-stock theft unit Police line as the boys’ dormitory and the school dining hall. The school soon outgrew the facilities the primary section could offer and so in January 1995, the school was moved to the incomplete complex structures.

“Nothing stops a patriotic principal from engaging his or her Board of Management to see if he (/she) can persuade voluntarily, people who want to improve the infrastructure of their schools,” Magoha said adding that parents who cannot afford to contribute should not be forced to do so.

In February this year, the National KESSHA (Kenya Secondary Schools Head Association) chairman, Kahi Indimuli, presented a proposal to the Education Ministry that sought to increase secondary schools’ fees.
In the the proposals, the principals wanted fees in national or extra county schools in urban areas raised by Sh15,848 to Sh91,646 up from Sh75,798. For extra-county schools in other parts of the country, the principals wanted the charges raised by Sh17,773 from Sh62,679 to Sh80,452.
Indimuli said the government retains KSh4,196 for textbooks, KSh200 for a science and mathematics improvement programme (CEMASTEA), kSh270 for activity, KSh900 for medical insurance and KSh6,000 for infrastructure. This leaves the schools with only about Sh10,600 out of the Sh22,244 subsidy per student.

But, CS Magoha was quick to advise parents to report any cases of excessive charges by schools to the Ministry. “Parents are therefore advised to only pay the amount of fees set by the Ministry and report any incidents of students who are turned away ,” the advised while, at the same time warning principals against sending students away for lack of fees.
