I propose that we increase the duration of the evaluation from three months to six months. Sometimes when you are doing land transaction, it takes more than 90 days before you complete the transaction. This is to ensure that the valuation covers those delays that arise within the Ministry of Lands.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 20 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (a) of the proposed new Sub-section (3) by deleting the words “five times” and substituting therefor the words “two times” appearing in proviso (i). On Clause 20(3)(i), when you are late in paying registration fee for your title, the law proposes that you pay five times the fine, which is very punitive. I am proposing that you pay double the fee instead of five times. It will be unfair to charge five times instead of the usual fee. I am proposing that ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to oppose this amendment because in the earlier Bills, we had given the CS a leeway to appoint. I do not know why we are denying the CS that opportunity in this Bill. I oppose.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also rise to support the amendment because the Departmental Committee Chairman is trying to ensure that there is clarity in the law that we are making. He is trying to ensure that it is not ambiguous, as was case in the past. I support.

One of the reasons why I propose this amendment is because what the law is proposing is discriminatory. There are experts in the field of land who can also qualify to be registrars. The Bill indicates that the only person who can be a registrar is an advocate of the High Court. However, I propose that we amend the Bill to include land surveyors, land economists and experts in any other relevant field instead of just an advocate of the High Court. Just having advocates of the High Court would be discriminatory.
