Why any “sane” lawyer cannot support the Land Bill!

Folks, we know better that the joy of any lawyer anywhere is a flourishing society with many transactions going on in business, land and normal social life. That is the life of a rich lawyer. Get your hands to handle real deals in which you charge a commission. And when anything that seeks to disrupt the transactions deserves opposition and serious criticism. Let us be honest about the land amendment bill of 2007.

In its section 3, it is provided that a transaction by a tenant by occupancy without permission of the land owner will be criminal offence but the transaction remains valid whilst a transaction by the land owner without consent of the tenant is void. This implies a tenant can prevent the sale or mortgage or lease of land on which he is based on the way the section is worded because the tenant is given an indefinite joint and several veto. How do you think lawyers will survive when there is such a hustling process before a single transaction on land can go through as valid?

True, the land Bill has been attacked left, right and centre but surely, if it cannot even favor the lawyers, who are known worldwide for having an eye for business and services in any situation, what is it for?
