    "content": "The Mover of this Bill has done a very good job by indicating to the House what this Bill is all about. He has tried to show how important this Bill is to the country. As you are aware, the Sectional Properties Bill 2019 was read the First Time in May 2019 and was referred to the Departmental Committee on Lands. We did public participation in accordance to Article 118 of the Constitution and also Standing Order No.127. Our Committee took a lot of time in indulging stakeholders from whom we received submissions. The stakeholders included the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya and an individual Kenyan by the name Mr. John Gardner. We took much time to listen to what the stakeholders had to say with regard to this important Bill. The Sectional Properties Bill is a very important Bill for this country at this time. The Majority Whip has explained that many Kenyans have fallen into traps laid by fraudulent developers leading to loss of property. He has given an example of Suraya, an outfit which sold property to individuals without knowing that there were many challenges regarding the ownership of property. Some of them lost money. This law is coming at a time when Kenyans are purchasing flats that are constructed on pieces of land that one cannot tell whether they are secure or not."
