    "content": "When we look at the 1987 Properties Act, which was hailed by a number of people including renowned scholars as being revolutionary, we can see that we are moving forward, we are not sitting back and being relaxed that the 1987 Sectional Properties Act was considered revolutionary and useful because it had picked different ideas. Therefore, it is dynamic, but in particular focusing on how can we can improve so that the interests of purchasers are taken care of. I also want to appreciate that we have had professions. I say this with humility. We have had contexts where Kenyans are completely lost because when they get professionals like surveyors and even lawyers as they choose to make investment, they are in a way inhibited and sometimes they tend to make very poor decisions. We heard from the Chair, Hon. Nyamai ways of ensuring that we do not lock out any opportunities to settle disputes to a tribunal or to a rigid legal framework. We should also ensure that the management of properties be opened up so that people are allowed to engage. This is very important. However, as I support, I would have requested that, perhaps, we get greater clarity. The whole idea of devolution was power to the common man and woman and we wanted as much as possible that they would have greater confidence in terms of not only of direction the counties would go, but that their voice would matter."
