The Legal Basis for Conducting Asset Searches in Kenya
Conducting an asset search in Kenya is a lawful activity, crucial for due diligence, divorce proceedings, and enforcing court judgments. The legality of these searches hinges on using public records and legitimate investigative methods. Key statutory frameworks that enable these searches include the Land Registration Act, which governs access to property ownership records at the Land Registry, and the Companies Act, which allows for searches on company directors and shareholders at the Business Registration Service (BRS).
Furthermore, records from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) can be accessed (with a legitimate reason) to identify motor vehicle ownership. It is critical to note that accessing certain private financial information, like specific bank account balances, is heavily restricted by the Banking Act and the Data Protection Act, 2019, and generally requires a court order. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd operates strictly within these legal boundaries. Our expertise lies in knowing which records are publicly accessible and how to legally interpret the information to build a comprehensive asset portfolio for our clients, ensuring the evidence gathered is admissible in court.

Step 2: Public Records & Registry Searches. Our team initiates searches across multiple official registries. This includes:
Land Registry Search: We conduct searches at the Eldoret Land Registry to identify any registered land or property owned by the subject within Uasin Gishu County.Company Registry Search: We query the Business Registration Service to find any directorships, shareholdings, or business names linked to the individual.Motor Vehicle Search: We engage with the NTSA/TIMS portal to identify any vehicles registered under the subject's name.
