    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I second this Bill; the Sectional Properties Bill, brought here by the National Assembly. I would like to start by thanking Sen. Kang’ata for that detailed analysis of the Bill. He has gone through all the sections and parts of the Bill. I will not do that. He has also explained to us the history of land laws and pointed out the gaps that have been in existing laws. The Sectional Properties Bill seeks to feel that gap considering contemporary trends. We are now fighting for space in the air because down here, the space is scarce. We all know that land, as a factor of production, will never increase. Therefore, instead of fighting down here, we start looking for space up there. That is what this law is about; the vertical ownership of property. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Sectional Properties Bill seeks also to regulate the building industry, especially in this era of apartments or what we used to call flats, both at the national and the county level. This Bill is timely. It is being proposed when there is a lot of rural-urban migration. This Bill, once enacted, will not only apply in Nairobi, Mombasa or Kisumu, but also in our counties. Devolution has brought The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
