    "content": "Generally, if you issue a lease of 21 years, it is like uninterrupted occupation. That is why I am requesting that we consider removing the words “and there is an intention to confer ownership”. It is superfluous and does not add anything. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, allow me to enlighten my colleagues about the second part of Clause 8(1)(f). Under the Sectional Properties Act passed in 2020, it created three distinct owners of properties under any scheme. One, is the unit owner who is registered in their name. Then, all the common areas, be it areas reserved for schools, churches, shopping centres, playing fields, restaurants, among others are registered in the name of the corporation. So, by excluding the corporation, we are denying the county governments an immense amount of revenue. In many places, if you look at the site coverage you will find that we are talking about 30 or 50 per cent. So, the remaining 50 per cent is under the corporation. Hon. Members, if you deny this amendment, we are literary hurting income to be generated by these people. The third amendment to clause 8(1)(h) is the issue of the Community Land Management Committee. If you look at the Community Land Act, that is why we should legislate because we are not in a political contest. Let us legislate!"
