OBJECTS AND REASONS
_________
This Bill proposes the enactment of the Valuation and Valuers
Registration Act, 2016 for purposes of regulating the valuation profession
and practice in Tanzania Mainland. This is due to the fact that, for almost
three decades the valuation activities have been undertaken under the
auspices of various legislation including the Land Act, Cap. 113, the
Urban Authorities (Rating) Act, Cap. 289, the Land Acquisition Act, Cap.
118, the Mining Act Cap. 123, the Income Tax Act, Cap. 332 and the
Professional Surveyors (Registration) Act, Cap. 270.
This lack of one comprehensive and self contained legislation
covering the valuation practices in the country has culminated into serious
challenges within the societies. Some of these challenges include the
escalation of land use disputes throughout the country caused by
unscrupulous and unethical valuers; the increasing number of unqualified
valuers who have been undertaking valuation assignments and activities
without possessing requisite academic qualifications. All these have
cascaded into causing delays in effecting compensation, the soaring of the
relevant compensation, production costs of the relevant project and delay
in undertaking the particular project or investment.
Thus, the Bill seeks to introduce a comprehensive legal framework
that will fill the gap and work as an antidote in eliminating the preceding
challenges and ensuring that land use in the country brings about positive
impact in the welfare of individual users as well as the nation in general.
For purposes of appreciating the intended objectives, the Bill is
divided into Seven Parts.
Part I of the Bill deals with preliminary provisions including the
name of the proposed Act, its application as well as interpretation of
various words and phrases that have been invariably used throughout the
Bill.
Part II proposes powers and functions of Chief Valuer within the
set up of the Ministry responsible for lands. It further provides for the
appointment of the Chief Valuer, Assistants Chief Valuer, Government
41

____________________________________________________
Valuers as well as Authorized valuers. The proposed set up of the
Valuation Department is to the effect that Assistants Chief Valuer will be
posted in zonal offices as supervisors of valuation activities undertaken by
Government valuers and authorized valuers in local government
authorities, Regions and Districts.
Part III proposes provisions for the Valuers Registration Board,
whereby matters relating to the establishment of the Board, composition,
powers as well as functions of the Board are well spelt out. Moreover, this
Part provides for the appointment of the Registrar who shall be
responsible for the day to day activities of the Board.
Part IV of the Bill deals with Registration of Valuers, Firms and
Enlistment of valuers. In this Part, it is proposed that the registration of
valuers be limited to valuers who possess at least a first degree in real
estate management with specialization in valuation. Likewise, the
registration may be effected in three categories, that is to say, full
registration, temporary registration and provisional registration. Full
registration will be to those valuers with at least three years of working
experience beside possessing the requisite academic qualifications.
Temporary registration will be to those valuers from outside Tanzania who
are seeking to undertake a valuation assignment in Tanzania for a period
not exceeding one year. Registration of Firms is subject to the valuer
acquiring practicing certificate and being compliant to the Companies Act,
Cap 212. Finally, provisional registration is reserved for graduates and
those who have not attained the three years working experience.
On the other hand, enlistment of valuers is reserved to valuers with
certificate or diploma in valuation. The enlisted valuers or technician
valuers are allowed to act as assistants in valuation assignments under
supervision of registered valuers.
Other matters relating to granting and refusal of application for
registration, validity of practicing certificates, rights and privileges of
registered and enlisted valuers, Register, inspection of the Register as well
as suspension and cancellation of practicing certificate are provided for
under his part.
Part V provides for guidance on valuation practice, whereby
matters relating to types of valuation, purposes, bases and methods of
42

____________________________________________________
valuation are clearly elaborated. In addition, this Part proposes for
provisions relating to validity of valuation, cut-off date and limitation
period and other matters relating to access to land or buildings.
Part VI of the Bill deals with financial provisions, in which case
matters relating to sources of funds of the Board, accounts and audit as
well as annual performance report are well set out.
Part VII proposes for general provisions. This Part focuses on code
of ethics for Government, registered valuers, authorized valuers, valuation
fees, offences and penalties, regulations to be made by the Minister, rules
of the Board, and the savings and transition provisions.
Finally, the Bill proposes Schedules which covers matter relating
to proceeding of the Board and consequential amendments whereby all
laws which, in one way or another may be affected by the proposed Act
are also proposed to be amended. These include the Land Act, Cap. 113,
the Urban Authority (Rating) Act, Cap. 289 and the Professional
Surveyors (Registration) Act, Cap. 270.

Muswada huu unapendekeza kutungwa kwa Sheria ya Uthamini na
Usajili wa Wathamini, ya mwaka 2016 kwa lengo la kusimamia taaluma
na shughuli za uthamini Tanzania Bara. Hii ni kutokana na kwamba kwa
takriban miongo mitatu, shughuli za uthamini zimekuwa zikitekelezwa
chini ya usimamizi wa sheria mbalimbali zikiwemo Sheria ya Ardhi, Sura
ya 113, Sheria ya Tozo za Mamlaka za Miji, Sura ya 289, Sheria ya
Utwaaji Ardhi, Sura ya 118, Sheria ya Madini, Sura ya 123, Sheria ya
Kodi ya Mapato, Sura ya 332 na Sheria ya Usajili wa Wapima, Sura ya
270.
Kutokuwepo kwa sheria moja mahsusi na inayojitosheleza kuhusu
masuala ya uthamini na shughuli za uthamini nchini kumesababisha
changamoto kubwa sana katika jamii. Baadhi ya changamoto hizo ni
pamoja kuongezeka kwa kasi kwa migogoro ya ardhi nchini
kunakosababishwa na kazi za uthamini kufanywa na wathamini hewa; na
kuongezeka kwa idadi kubwa ya wathamini wasio na sifa stahiki za
kitaaluma ambao mara nyingi wamekuwa wakitekeleza kazi mbalimbali
za uthamini. Changamoto zote hizi zimekuwa zikisababisha
ucheleweshwaji wa fidia, kuongezeka kwa thamani ya fidia, gharama za
miradi na ucheleweshwaji wa utekelezaji wa miradi au uwekezaji
kunakosababishwa na uthamini uliofanyika chini ya kiwango au bila ya
kuzingatia aina, misingi na madhumuni ya uthamini husika.
Kutokana na hali hiyo, Muswada huu unapendekeza kutungwa
Sheria moja mahsusi ambayo itaziba ombwe lililopo sasa na kutoa
suluhisho la changamoto zilizoainishwa kwenye aya zilizotangulia na
kuhakikisha kwamba matumizi ya ardhi nchini yanaleta athari chanya kwa
maslahi ya watumiaji wote wa ardhi na Taifa kwa ujumla.
Kwa madhumuni ya kukidhi malengo yaliyokusudiwa, Muswada
umegawanyika katika Sehemu Kuu Saba.
Sehemu ya Kwanza ya Muswada inahusu masharti ya awali
yakiwemo jina la Sheria inayopendekezwa, matumizi yake pamoja na
tafsiri za maneno na misamiati iliyotumika katika Muswada.

____________________________________________________
Sehemu ya Pili inahusu mamlaka na majukumu ya Mthamini
Mkuu ndani ya muundo wa Wizara yenye dhamana na masuala ya ardhi.
Aidha, Sehemu hii inapendekeza masharti kuhusu uteuzi wa Mthamini
Mkuu, Wathamini Wakuu Wasaidizi, Wathamini wa Serikali na
Wathamini Waidhinishwa. Muundo huu wa Idara ya Uthamini
utahakikisha kwamba Wathamini Wakuu Wasaidizi watakuwepo katika
kila kanda na watakuwa ni wasimamizi wa shughuli za uthamini
zinazofanywa na Wathamini wa Serikali na wathamini waidhinishwa
katika mamlaka za serikali za mitaa, Mikoa na Wilaya.
Sehemu ya Tatu inapendekeza masharti kuhusu Bodi ya Usajili wa
Wathamini ambapo masuala yanayohusu uanzishwaji wa Bodi, muundo,
mamlaka na kazi za Bodi yamefafanuliwa. Aidha, Sehemu hii
inapendekeza masharti kuhusu uteuzi wa Msajili ambaye atawajibika
kusimamia utekelezaji wa siku kwa siku wa shughuli za Bodi.
Sehemu ya Nne ya Muswada inahusu Usajili na Uorodheshwaji wa
wathamini. Katika Sehemu hii, inapendekezwa kwamba usajili wa
wathamini ufanyike kwa wathamini wenye angalau shahada ya kwanza
katika masuala ya usimamizi wa ardhi na nyumba. Aidha, usajili
unapendekezwa kufanyika katika makundi matatu ambayo ni usajili
kamili, usajili wa muda na usajili wa mpito. Usajili kamili utatolewa kwa
wathamini wenye uzoefu wa angalau miaka mitatu mbali na kuwa na sifa
stahiki za kitaaluma. Usajili wa muda utatolewa kwa wathamini ambao si
watanzania na wanaotoka nje ya Tanzania ambao wanahitaji kutekeleza
shughuli mahsusi ya uthamini hapa Tanzania kwa kipindi kisichozidi
mwaka mmoja. Usajili wa makampuni ya usajili utafanyika baada ya
mthamini husika kupata chdeti chini ya Sheria hii na baada ya kukidhi
vigezo vilivyowekwa na Sheria ya Makampuni, Sura ya 212. Mwisho,
usajili wa mpito utakuwa ni kwa wahitimu wa masomo ya uthamini na
wengineo ambao hawana uzoefu wa angalau miaka mitatu ili waweze
kupewa usajili kamili.
Kwa upande mwingine, uorodheshwaji wa wathamini utakuwa ni
kwa ajili ya wathamini ambao wana vyeti au diploma katika masuala ya
usimamizi wa ardhi na majengo. Wathamini walioorodheshwa au
wathamini wasaidizi wataruhusiwa kusaidia kazi za uthamini chini ya
usimamizi wa wathamini waliosajiliwa.

uhalali wa cheti, haki na stahili za wathamini waliosajiliwa au
walioorodheshwa, Rejesta, ukaguzi wa Rejesta na kusitisha kwa muda au
kufutwa kwa cheti cha usajili yamefafanuliwa kwa kina.
Sehemu ya Tano inahusu mwongozo kuhusiana na uendeshaji wa
shughuli za uthamini, ambapo masuala yote yanayohusu aina za uthamini,
madhumuni, misingi na mbinu za uthamini yamefafanuliwa kwa kina.
Aidha, Sehemu hii inapendekeza masharti kuhusu uhalali wa uthamini,
muda wa ukomo wa uthamini na masuala mengine yanayohusu kuingia
katika ardhi au majengo.
Sehemu ya Sita ya Muswada inahusu masharti kuhusu fedha,
ambapo masuala yanayohusu vyanzo vya mapato ya Bodi, hesabu na
ukaguzi wa hesabu pamoja na taarifa ya mwaka kuhusu utendaji kazi wa
Bodi yameainishwa kwa ufasaha.
Sehemu ya Saba inapendekeza masharti ya jumla. Sehemu hii
inahusu masuala ya miiko ya maadili ya kitaaluma kwa wathamini wa
Serikali na wathamini waidhinishwa, ada za uthamini, makosa na adhabu,
kanuni zitakazotengenezwa na Waziri, kanuni za Bodi na masharti ya
mpito nay ale yanayoendelea.
Mwisho, Muswada unapendekeza Majedwali yanayohusu utaratibu
wa uendeshaji wa shughuli za Bodi na marekebisho yatokanayo ambapo
sheria zote ambazo kwa namna moja au nyingine zitaathirika kutokana na
Sheria inayopendekezwa, zinapendekezwa kufanyiwa marekebisho. Sheria
hizo ni pamoja na Sheria ya Ardhi, Sura ya 113, Sheria ya Tozo za
Mamlaka za Miji, Sura ya 289 na Sheria ya Usajili wa Wapima Ardhi,
Sura ya 270.
