The recent gazette notice by the Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome proposing to increase fees for various services has provoked public discussion.

There are times when such an increment could be a boon to the provision of land services or a bane to the target consumers. It all depends on the underlying justification, the prevailing circumstances, and the magnitude of the increment. The timing, involvement and communication of the information to the industry matter too.
