"content": " My apologies, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I hope I will not make the mistake again. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Sectional Properties Bill (National Assembly Bill No.23 of 2019). First of all, we need to ask ourselves why this Bill is necessary and what is it all about. We know that presently, we have a law in place called the Sectional Properties Act 1987. However, this Act is not responsive enough to emerging market needs such as the growing demand for affordable housing in the country and the mixed use of houses or buildings or for mortgage transactions. We are all aware that they are very many. In fact, the current trend of property development in this country is largely on property that is multi use property. Apartments are the most preferred choice in terms of property acquisition especially for the middle income earners. There are cases where we even have one property being mixed use. It is both office and residential area. Therefore, this Bill will provide for the division of buildings into units that are owned by individuals, proprietors and common property to be owned by proprietors of the units as tenants in common."
