A petition has been tabled in the National Assembly seeking to reform the country’s succession laws, amid concerns of property remaining tied up for decades.
There are growing concerns that millions of acres of land and other productive assets remain registered in the names of deceased persons due to lengthy and costly inheritance processes.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula said his office is in receipt of a petition from former Taita Taveta governor John Mruttu and 22 others calling for urgent reforms as far as the administration of estates in the country is concerned.
