Kenya’s State Department for Lands and Physical Planning has rolled out a fully digital stamp duty processing system, replacing manual procedures with electronic assessments and payments. The National Stamp Duty Module, integrated into the Ardhisasa land information system and linked to e-Citizen via ArdhiPay, is now operational in 36 land registries. Officials say the system improves efficiency, transparency, and accountability while reducing transaction times and curbing malpractice in land administration.
