Purpose and legislative effect

“This section says the Act may be cited by its short title and is to be read together with the Building Societies Act.”

This section says the Act may be cited by its short title and is to be read together with the Building Societies Act. The Act expands the meaning of “leasehold” to include title obtained from a district council under the Housing (Statutory and Improvement Areas) Act. This section amends section 61 of the principal Act by replacing “fifty thousand kwacha” with “one hundred and twenty thousand kwacha.” This provision amends section 61 by replacing two amounts of 50,000 kwacha with 120,000 kwacha. A building society may repay only limited amounts to a single investor or lender each month, generally capped at 2% of total assets or a Minister-prescribed amount.
