• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: “After expiry of the six months from commencement of this Act or such further period as the Minister may, by notice in the Gazette, allow either generally or in respect of any particular person or class of persons – (a) no individual shall carry out business as a practising valuer unless he is a registered valuer; (b) no partnership shall carry on business as practising valuers unless all the partners whose activities include the doing of acts by way of such practice are registered valuers; (c) no body corporate shall carry on business…” So, essentially,… view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the genesis of my presentation is specifically the fundamental issue of how to determine, in the first instance, the land index precisely. Here, the procedure is clearly set out and none of these amendments in the Bill before us has made any attempt to repeal or amend the Valuers Act. But be that as it may, if, indeed, there is a feeling or a view that the national Government can value, let it go ahead because obviously, it has no capacity legally or otherwise to value. Thank you. view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, there seems to be either some kind of miscommunication or some case of not being diligent enough. Section 120 is very explicit. Probably, the reason the amendments were necessary was to cure the mischief and unnecessary delays in compensation. Section 120 reads that it is only after the award has been made and the amount of the first offer paid. That supposes that the Government can pay you an installment, get into your land and wait before it pays you the rest. The spirit of the amendments here was to force the Government to pay in ... view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I am at a loss. I need guidance on what we are amending in the principal Act yet there is reference to full compensation. I do not know what amendments we are making. Secondly, I just want to bring in a fundamental issue of compulsory land acquisition, which falls in the realm of eminent domain, where somebody is deprived of his property, but the Constitution has safeguards, full and just compensation. My colleagues who want to oppose the amendment re-emphasising full compensation do not value the lives of the people who are being deprived because here is an involuntary loss ... view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: deprived because here is an involuntary loss of your land. You have not made any alternative arrangements to get an alternative place of aboard. Just like what the Government is doing in the procurement process, it cannot procure for a good service unless it has made commitment for the funds. The funds are already secured waiting for the completion of the process before payment is done. We do not want the wanton and the miserable suffering land owners have been subjected to in this country. view
