Parliament has repealed the law that imposed a Sh1 million fine or one-year jail term for real estate developers and home owners who fail to install solar water heating systems in their buildings.
MPs said the penalties, introduced under regulations empowering the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to vet buildings for compliance with the solar heating rules, would increase costs for landlords and tenants and undermine access to affordable housing.
National Assembly’s Committee on Delegated Legislation threw out the ERC rules on grounds that the Sh1 million fine contravenes the section of the Statutory Instruments Act (SI Act) that limits fines payable under the Act to a maximum of Sh20,000 or a prison term not exceeding six months in default.
Parliamentarians said the rules were also in contravention of the law that prevents imposition of a fine, imprisonment or other penalty without express authority provided for in the enabling legislation
