Can Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) be a pathway to affordable homeownership?
Kenya’s affordable housing agenda is a government initiative aimed at addressing the housing deficit in the country by providing affordable and decent housing for its citizens through homeownership. This initiative aligns with the Government’s broader development goals outlined in its Vision 2030 blueprint. The key challenges that have been identified as the barriers to delivering this agenda include (i) limited capacity for rapid construction of affordable homes even though the Government has initiated large-scale construction projects across the country; (ii) lack of guaranteed off-take, which undermines property developers’ confidence in exiting developments upon completion; and (iii) limited access to financing options that could enable developers bring more affordable homes to the market.

Can the Pension Fund Adjudicator ignore a response to a disputed death benefit?
An employee who is a member of a retirement fund would have a death benefit that is payable to their dependents when they pass away. Importantly, the benefit does not form part of the deceased member’s estate and is not subject to deceased estate processes. The trustees of the fund are responsible for allocating the death benefit under section 37C of the Pension Funds Act 24 of 1956 (Act).

Pipped at the post? (the pitfall of instituting a claim in the wrong forum and how this relates to the relevant arbitration clause and underlying agreement)
As a result of court backlogs and delays, and the public nature of court hearings, it has become common place for commercial contracts to include an arbitration clause. Arbitrations are a form of alternative dispute resolution whereby a dispute is resolved through a private procedure before an arbitrator instead of a judge. An arbitration clause normally seeks to include all disputes between the parties arising out of an agreement.
