The newly elected Institute of Surveyors of Kenya chairperson has called for a review of laws so Jubilee's affordable housing promise is fulfilled. Affordable housing for low income earners is one of the four pillars of President Uhuru Kenyatta's Big Four agenda. Samoei said the Legislature needs to review the Estate Agents, Valuers, Sectional Properties and Survey Acts, as well as enact the Building Surveyors Bill that is in Parliament. “21st century technology, such as the use of drones to survey land, is in place, but has not been approved. Kenya has less than 100 licensed surveyors while 1,000 are qualified but have not been registered by the institute.
