• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: the gate and providing garbage collection services. After sometime when they are comfortable, after taking your money, you have paid deposits, you have paid your rent for maybe two or three months, the landlord disappears na anakuwa mteja when in some cases they have taken payment for utility such as electricity and water. Before you know it, you were already misled because there was a misrepresentation of facts. The landlord was excited and wanted you to rent their property while promising Heaven but failed to deliver. view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: According to this Bill, when you are paying your rent, you know the services that will be provided. Apart from the rentals, there will be other additional services that will be provided. When you move in, a landlord can promise to paint your house in a month's time or fix other fixtures in the house but they fail to do so. I am pleased that this has been covered by Clause 21. Madam Temporary Speaker, the clause on powers and appointment of tribunal are procedural issues. There is nothing much I can add. The powers that the tribunal has been ... view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: The date of notice for such shall be at least 60 days. However, I think that it should be 90 days so that you do not wake up one day to inconvenience tenants when we all know the inconvenience of moving to a new house. Maybe where you live had proximity to your place of work. It will be unfair to give such a tenant only two months’ notice. It will be better if we maintain the notice period at ninety days so that it will be convenient to the tenants. It is okay if the landlord wants the house ... view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: that people have been displaced. It is good to build roads, public utilities and hospitals but you must also be fair and have due regard to the law. Therefore, the 120 days which is four months, is sufficient. Not unless somebody has grabbed land and there is an issue, so that they can demolish it at night. As a country, we need to move away from this. Four months or 120 days is very important so that we prevent the creation of infrastructural evictees. Madam Temporary Speaker, you may remember that some people were evicted in Ruai and other areas ... view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you will find a young person has maybe taken money from the Youth Fund and wants to rent some space in the Central Business District (CBD). The rent may be Kshs40, 000 or 50,000. The landlord then demands goodwill of Kshs2,000,000. view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: This is what the Senate Majority Leader needs to look at because most young people cannot do business because of the goodwill. This is an issue that must be addressed once and for all. I know many young people who are in business but I do not know where this culture of goodwill running into millions of shillings came from. A friend of mine wanted to lease a property – not even to buy it – to do business within Eldoret Town. He was told to pay Kshs6 million. It left me wondering where a startup business is supposed to ... view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree with Clause 29. In some estates in Nairobi City County, you will rent a residential house and before you know it, it is a club where people club or pray. I do not mean that prayers are bad. However, you were living in a residential home but before you know it, there is kesha or a club. This happened a lot especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. I agree on the termination for illegal reasons. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are estates where even drug and human trafficking is happening. It is important to have these powers ... view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope that it is not within the Chamber. It looks like there are people who are playing twisti . I hope that music does not affect recording of the HANSARD. It is outside of the Chamber, though. I was on the importance of a law to guide residency in the former municipal council houses. You can imagine the police are always involved when those people are being removed. This is especially for the Kenya Railways houses. In fact, the people living in those houses build mabati structures as a form of extension to the main house. ... view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of ownership of rental houses and many others issues are managed at the county government level. Why would the National Assembly have selective amnesia? They know that under Article 93, Parliament refers to both Houses. It is the National Assembly and the Senate. We went to court because of that simple issue and they want to take us back. The Senate Majority Leader should handle this in a kikao cha wazee between the National Assembly and Senate. We do not want to be fighting over small issues. We should be fighting for serious issues ... view
