• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: The developers have a big challenge on how to deal with buyers. The off-plan purchase that Hon. Mbadi referred to is an area that needs to be scrutinised and tacked properly in law. Many times, it is after the structure has come up that you will tell whether a particular land parcel is genuine. Kenyans are very naive. They prefer going directly to the developers, pay the deposit even without consulting lawyers or seeking legal advice and fall into the wrong hands. Therefore, the process of agreements being required as part of registration documentation has not been the case before. ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: I have seen the proposal regarding the tribunal. The reason tribunals were encouraged and introduced into the judicial system, though they are quasi-judicial, was to make the process of litigation easy, less expensive and less litigious with clear, specific and easy language and rules and regulations, so that the litigation is concluded quickly without unnecessary cost. With that, we need to see whether the tribunal as established and proposed in this Bill encourages quick disposal of disputes. Therefore, removing disputes from tribunals will not be a solution because we have seen inefficiency in some committees. We have seen corruption in ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Bill proposes the surrender of original title, so that the sectional titles can be prepared quickly, but I know you understand this area. Management companies retain a lot of authority or power to collect other money from owners of blocks, in my view, against the law. Management fee has become like another rental income for original owners with proposal of shares. If you look at the control that owners of titles have against the management company, you will find that there is a gap. It exposes the owners of titles. view

• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Law of Contract (Amendment) Bill by Hon. Francis Waititu. I want to confess that Hon. Waititu has been in conversation with me to support his Bill. I am the Vice Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. He came to the Committee and prosecuted his Bill very well. He expressed a lot of concern for the borrowers who have been borrowing using guarantors to support their security. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The essence of this Bill has been explained by most Members who have contributed. The concern of the Mover of this Bill is that, if the principal borrower takes a loan, gives a security and commits to pay the loan, but he is asked to further guarantee the loan or give additional security by a guarantor, then he has the responsibility to pay. It has occurred many times that the guarantor is the wife, son, daughter, family member, father or a close friend of the borrower. Because there is a security that initially was to guarantee this loan, many times ... view
