    "content": "This Bill seeks to repeal the Sectional Property Act of 1987 and in some way reminds some of us that we are not very young because, when the then Sectional Titles Act was being discussed in 1987, I was at the university. It sounded like the most outrageous thing, but also became a very interesting piece of legislation because it was doing something that was not known then, but several years later, there are different challenges and new developments that Kenyans have been confronted with. Therefore, it is only necessary that we review the laws. I want to also thank the Executive because Kenya is doing very well in terms of legislation. I remember back then when I was in college, we would be talking about one issue for years. Now we are becoming much better than the USA because we are fast in keeping up with developments both nationally and regionally. The only challenge we face as a country sometimes is that even though we pass a lot of legislation… I want to only thank the Executive of Parliament because Parliament is doing a very good job on the issue of implementation. I would like to encourage the House leadership of the National Assembly, that even for Private Members Bills; this is one of the most vibrant Houses that I have seen since I have been here. This is my third term. Private Members Bills are doing an excellent job, but sometimes the House leadership slows down the effort of Private Members Bills. So, perhaps, in the same way we are churning out Bills from the Executive… If we can push at the same time Private Members Bills, this country would make great strides. I know Hon. Washiali wants to challenge me, but I can tell him that if he looks at the National Assembly in terms of the Private Members Bills that have been brought, whether they are amendments or full Bills, he will find that they are very many. What we see on Wednesdays does not reflect what we have. Perhaps the House leadership could look at ways in which we can fast-track them."
