Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute. From the outset, I support the Sectional Properties Bill. Kenyans face challenges given their ignorance when they purchase property. According to the Sectional Properties Bill, a Kenyan who would like to own property that is part of a larger one, like an apartment, is given clear focus. Indeed, they will not have problems of wondering whether or not they can get a loan using the property or a title deed and most importantly, if they should get an apartment or complex where there are others and how ...

future of Kenya’s real estate is going to be one where we need to have clear sectional property laws and regulations. We also need to get Kenyans to shift their paradigm from being so obsessed with looking at land from a horizontal perspective as it sometimes leads to conflicts that can even cause families to split, and begin to see the advantage of having a vertical perspective where we can have this kind of protection.

When we look at the 1987 Properties Act, which was hailed by a number of people including renowned scholars as being revolutionary, we can see that we are moving forward, we are not sitting back and being relaxed that the 1987 Sectional Properties Act was considered revolutionary and useful because it had picked different ideas.

The submission that we might not be so keen in this Bill is to have a register of investors who would like to put buildings with consideration or argument that we already have a situation where these investors will have registered with the KRA and therefore they would not need to have this kind of register. This is something I would ask the Committee to provide clarity on. As we debate, it would be useful to say we need greater transparency. If we were to have a situation where we even get to have greater clarity of whom it is ...
