Land registration process!

Went to Lands today and the process is as follows:

Firstly they will need to produce a sketch plan and map for the area and plot @ K 50,000.00 (Govn rate but it may take months to do it) But they can do it @ K35,000.00 private within 3 days.

Then we need to apply for registration @ K1,500.00. After that they will send the sketch plan to city assembly for them to crosscheck in case somebody has already regis. the land.(this is there internal process and it does not take time)

Then then they will be need for them to put bicons on the plot @ K 30,000.00 (Govn rate but it may take even 5 month coz they wait for the budget bra bra bra) but can do it @ around K 50,000.00 private they say.

After the the city have approved they sent it to the Min HQ for the Minister to aprove (this may take even a yr they say, But they do push for pple who want it done fast so long as if one MOTIVATES them, you know how it goes with these pple.

Then after this approval they will offer you the land @ a min price of K 10,000.00 (depending on the land and place)

I can contact them for the 1st step if you are ready, they say any day, but cash on delivery

A year of reading law

My efforts for the past year were to squeeze the English law core modules in one year at Northumbria Law School. I finished the year yesterday with a Trusts and Equity examinations.

To be honest, I enjoyed every moment at the law school. I enjoyed the hectic schedule and the stuff I was reading. I made it a point to attend every lecture and seminar. It was just fabulous so much that it is hard for me to mention my best module. I feel very empowered.

I studied the English Legal System, Tort Law, Contract Law, Public/Constitutional Law, European Union Law, Criminal Law, Property Law and Trusts ad Equity. I also did a research in Family Law on cohabitants’ financial remedies when their relationships breakdown.

My examinations started on Monday 1st June on a sour note though. I had a severe headache carried over from the weekend. I took my Contract, Criminal and Property Law examinations under painkillers. At one time I felt like withdrawing from the examinations. I thank God I recovered well enough for the rest of the examinations although I think I messed up my contract examination answers!

Today I woke up with nothing to do. It felt very very strange. Next Friday I will go back to my part time job while looking for a full time job. However, if I don’t get a job by September, if I will manage to pass the Contract Law exam, I plan to read law for the bar vocational course (BVC) from this September. I am praying for a Contract Law miracle pass. Please join me :D.

Studying law was a huge privilege and a dream come true to me. Many thanks to God and all the support from friends. My biggest debt is to Donalisa for her outstanding support during my studies.

Enjoy the law school music here.
