    "content": "Bora for having faith in the Senate and presenting this Petition on the non-issuance of title deeds after purchasing property through Jamii Bora. In the last Parliament, we were able to firm up laws to regulate purchase of property, especially when you have developers who build flats and sell them. Initially it was not very clear how they were going to get title deeds, but after the review of the Sectional Properties Act, it has made it possible for somebody to get a flat with a title deed or sub-lease for it. However, it is annoying to realize that there are some developers who are not following that law. We will need to look at the salient issues that have been raised in that Petition to see how we can assist the people who bought houses in Jamii Bora development. We firmed that law, especially where we have phased development that is where a developer is having the first phase of development and people are purchasing houses. Previously it was difficult like in a case where you have phased development with swimming pools and playgrounds; they would change the architectural design plans and build other things. However, through passage of the Sectional Properties Act amendment we were able to firm up that such that if you start with the said plan you run with it up to the end. Being in the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural resources we have been able to solve very many issues to do with land. These issues are not just in Jamii Bora Estate, Kajiado County, but all over Kenya. We have many issues that we have raised and tried to solve across the country. We shall also look into this case and see how the residents of Jamii Bora Estate can get justice. I thank you."
