Members of the National Assembly Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education are demanding stricter measures against auctioneers who allegedly employ "goons" and use intimidation during property seizures.

• MPs are concerned about the abuse, intimidation, and financial losses faced by Kenyans due to weak enforcement against rogue auctioneers.
• The committee is questioning the Auctioneers Licensing Board (ALB) regarding its regulation of the sector.
• The ALB CEO, Festus Terer, stated that the regulator is collaborating with the National Police Service to ensure lawful security measures are used, aiming to replace private gangs.
