• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Poghisio, I did not mean to interrupt your thoughts. However, having listened to Sen. Olekina and Sen. Poghisio on the issue of money Bill, I have been a victim of this money Bill for a long time. I am very aware that any Bill, we try as much as possible to circumvent so that it is not a money Bill. The way this Bill is structured is so that we deal with what has been already appropriated to the counties. We are not asking the PBO to do the appropriation from here. The counties ... view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to support The Sectional Properties Bill (National Assembly Bills No.23 Of 2019). I would like to beginning by talking about unplanned development in many areas in Kenya, especially in sprawling towns where you will find many buildings coming up without plan. There is usually a plan in most cases, only that it is not implemented. As a result of unplanned development, over time there will be lack of order and you will find the houses put up anyhow. Houses without proper planning are put up facing different directions without any specific order. The electronic version ... view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: Sometime back, I was involved in the digital planning for Mariakani Town in Kilifi County. One of the things we started with was developing a digital plan so as to see how the actual planning could be done. We segmented different areas for different use such as industrial, cemetery, commercial, residential and many others. Many plans are existent but have not been put in place. view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: This Bill will bring some level of organization. With many units within an area, there is likely to be order if there is a Bill that guides development. This Bill delved deep to look into the overall overarching issues, such as having a corporation and board to ensure that the Sectional Properties Bill is adhered to. The Bill also highlights how a unit should be acquired or disposed of. The Bill intends to bring order. Kenya, being a middle income country, there are many people who are interested in housing, but some cannot afford due to the high costs involved. ... view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: That Clause is meant to ensure that we do not have ambiguity on who is or not part of the plan. The Bill proposes that registration, title and the unit being registered should be issued under the Land Registration Act. This will reduce ambiguity around who owns what, where, how and since when. That clarification is important so that people can follow though at any one particular time about what specifically is happening. view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: Clause 9 is clear on how every plan presented for registration will be handled. Requirements of the sectional plans are clear on how they will be managed, including the description, heading of the plan, geo-referencing of the plans and many more. Clause 9 addresses a number of issues that we currently face. We have situations where title deeds have been given to other people because there is no geo-referencing. However, with GPS and other types of new technology, you can apportion documentation to a specific area directly. That way, it is very easy to avoid any sort of confusion about ... view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: The Bill states that specific particulars need to be included, such as drawings illustrating the units and identification of the units by numbers and other symbols to ensure organization. The user of the unit will have to be indicated as well as any other particulars described in the regulations. All these things have to be contained at the level of registration. I am confident that these regulations will, to a large extent, give confidence to Kenyans who will want to be unit owners within the sectional plans and housing. view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: Clause 9(2) states that: - ‘The Registrar shall, within twenty-one days from the day a sectional plan is registered, submit to the county government of the area in which the parcel is located, a copy of the registered sectional plan.’ That provision in the Bill is important so that sequencing and co-ordination between the national Government and county governments is clear. Clause 11 states that: - ‘(1) Every plan presented for registration as a sectional plan shall be endorsed by— (a) a surveyor stating that the structure shown on the plan is within the external surface boundaries of the parcel ... view
• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: The bringing to birth of the corporation is going to be well entrenched because it had to be registered. The persons who will make up the corporation have also been clearly listed in Clause 17(3), ensuring that there is inclusivity. There is usually fear and confusion when people do not understand what is going on. Many Kenyans would like to know everything about a project before committing to any form of arrangement and housing. The Bill addresses questions such as whose housing, when they were started, what the purpose is and where the money goes to. The proposed corporation will ... view
