    "content": "that he is trying to address is that of housing. From that point of view, you will find that land has become very dear, and not many Kenyans can afford land. The available chunks are within the hands of a few individuals. That being the case, this Bill gets its credit from that point. The reason is that many of the developers who are doing flats find it very difficult to sell part of the flats to would-be property owners. They are limited because we do not have a clear legislation like the one that is before us today. We have had issues in the past where merchants who are in property development have come up with strategies of ripping off Kenyans. They come up with agreements that are not based anywhere in law. After you pay the money, you cannot claim it back because the transaction was illegal from the word go, and therefore, this Bill is addressing those pertinent issues. You find that from the Bill, if you are to look at Section 4(2), for a surveyor to register sectional title, original ownership must be proved. It means that property buyers will be cushioned against fraudulent practices."
