[kictanet] Amend the law to enable end-to-end land transactions

[Walubengo J]

 @SMM,
I am under 'Siekke' for the article ;-)
I received a message from one of the lawyers who promised me a 'Class Suit'.  Am googling what that means and hope the digital lawyers onlist will come to my aid ;-)

The discussion the Lands ministry should have been having with the lawyers is about how to amend the law to enable end-to-end land transactions rather than how to protect the lawyers from the inevitable disruption that technology is bringing.


LSK argument for remaining analogue, being anti digital..

LSK cites section 34 of the Advocates Act which states: “No unqualified person shall, either directly or indirectly, take instructions, draw or prepare any document or instrument relating to the conveyancing of property.”
