    "content": "transfers to be done because they do not have titles. If you want to sell the property because you have a problem, you cannot because maybe the buyer would like to have the title. The Bill is also a good guarantee that property owners will have absolute rights to use the property as theirs. Therefore, it will create an enabling environment for investors and property owners who may wish to invest, especially young people who would like to invest but do not have stable income. They will be guaranteed that they are the rightful owners of the property. The Bill will also enhance revenue collection since each unit will be assessed separately for the purposes of payment of ground rent and rates. Therefore, it will help our country to generate more income. The other issue is that property owners will not fall into the trap of fraudulent developers, leading to loss of investment and income used in buying the apartments and the units. They will feel more secure to buy the units because they are guaranteed. This Bill is also in line with the Physical and Land Use Planning Bill that we passed recently, which will regulate matters of physical and land use planning and development control. In terms of registration, this Bill also seeks to conform to the land laws that we passed recently. Therefore, most Kenyans who want to invest in housing will have confidence. As a country, more income will be generated. I support the Bill because I strongly believe that most people were avoiding buying unit houses because they feared the developers were conning them because they do not know where the future lies since they do not have the security of titles. This Bill will be able to cater for all these fears. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support."
