• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The Seconder took note of the concern that the tribunal has very few people and cases might take long. It might even take longer when there are no lawyers. I suggest that the majority be lawyers but not exclusively. I will be proposing an amendment that two of the other three members of the tribunal should be lawyers or at least one extra member should be a lawyer. That would also help us deal with the issue of referring the matter to the High Court on issues of law. When you have a majority of lawyers, you do not need ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Because I can see my time is up, in Clause 58, we must add that there should be no locking of doors or throwing people out at night, especially those with babies without the intervention of the tribunal. My time is up. I support the Bill with amendments. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I did not intend to interrupt my good brother but he should not be worried because he has 10 minutes. I am just concerned. I am seeing Members who were not even here when this House started and, some who have just come in, getting an opportunity to speak. I have just realised that the system is not working well. At my end, the gadget shows that the system is working but apparently, it is not working on your side. So, this is just to let you know. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support this Bill but with proposed amendments. I know many Members in this House are both tenants and landlords; some are only landlords while others are only tenants. So, we have a mix in this House. The most important thing is to make sure there is a balance so that those who invest are encouraged to invest more, and those who rent are protected because that is a right under the Constitution. It is part of the social and economic rights. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: or on its own initiative. Many times - especially now with social media - there are many negative cases that are highlighted on social media. In such cases, the Tribunal can take action without either of the parties necessarily raising the issue, which is a good thing. The three months’ notice before increase of rent is good for both parties, namely, the landlord and the tenant, so that we do not have unscrupulous ways in which landlords sometimes visit upon tenants. The termination of tenancy for defaulting for three consecutive months is also a good one. There are also grounds ... view

I will be proposing an amendment that two of the other three members of the Tribunal should be lawyers or at least one extra member should be a lawyer. That would also help us deal with the issue of referring the matter to the High Court on issues of law. When you have a majority of lawyers, you do not need to go back and forth, except if you are going on appeal. That would reduce time wastage. We have not provided for the qualifications of the secretary to the Tribunal. That needs to be ... view

• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. We need some clarity on what Hon. Sabina Chege is saying because when I listened to the proposed amendment by Hon. Oundo, it is seeking, in the first part, to entrench provision for the indigents and vulnerable people. The last part is the one that is setting a different system. She is actually opposing in general. So, can she be clear whether she is opposing in general or is she supporting the issue of the indigent and vulnerable, which is a good idea and, therefore, seeking a different way? Thank you. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: But we are opposing wholesome. Why do we not leave the others? view
