"I want to assure Kenyans that these particular serial numbers are known and we do not see a threat to it," she stated.
Meanwhile, she assured Kenyans that the items stolen were not title deeds but documents issued to print the land ownership documents.
The CS also divulged that special security features were introduced on the title deeds to prevent fraud.
"We have put additional security features on the titles and therefore, it is not possible to have them printed elsewhere.
"The security features are specific to counties and registries," the CS added.
