The cadastral system2 in Kenya was established in 1903 to cater for land alienation for the white settlers. Since then, a hundred years later, the structure of the system has remained more or less the same despite major changes in surveying technology. The government of Kenya has realized that the current structure is not conducive to economic demands of the 21st century and is interested in re-organizing the structure in line with the current constitutional dispensation and new paradigms in land management. So far, there has been no comprehensive study to evaluate the structure of the cadastral system in Kenya, and this paper presents the results of a study that was carried out in Kenya (as part of PhD research) to evaluate the structure as a means of providing information for re-engineering the cadastral system.
