    "content": "Clause 38 also requires the developer of a building to insure the units and the common property against loss resulting from destruction or damage caused by fire or any other perils where a sectional planner has not been registered prior to the sale of any units. We know that buying or purchasing off-plan has become very attractive to Kenyans although with attendant risk as I mentioned earlier of unscrupulous developers who take money from unsuspecting Kenyans and then do not deliver the property. However, we must still accept that a lot of property is still bought off-plan. If that is the case, what happens where, for example, the developer has received money from various potential buyers and before the units are given to the buyers, they are damaged when they are still under construction by fire or any other peril like natural calamity? What happens to those who had already paid money? You cannot say that the developer will pay because he may not have the financial capacity to do it. Even if you take them to jail, so what? You will still have lost your property. Clause 38 of the Bill provides that the developer will be required by law to insure the units where a sectional planner has not been registered prior to the sale of any units. Therefore, these are very good provisions."
