    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there was a gentleman called Chacha whose name floated around Parliament the other time. I just want to confirm that it is possible for him to go to court and claim money and he will be granted. The female Members are lucky because the mischievous males are not bold enough to go to court. If Chacha was to go to court, assuming those things were a reality, we will be in a very messy situation. In good faith, I am seeking to open inheritance of the estate of a deceased spouse to any spouse, irrespective of their gender. I am opening inheritance of the estate of a deceased person to all his children whether or not they depended on him. If a child can prove that Kaluma is his father, just in line with Article 53 of the Constitution, he or she should be allowed to inherit my property. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am seeking to define the word “spouse” for purposes of going to court so that my wife should not be mourning and another woman I met in a retreat is in a court to disturb her after I am dead. When I am dead, please allow me to rest in peace. We are allowed to marry many women because we passed the Marriage Act that recognises polygamy and even allows for issuance of certificates. If we agree and follow the parameters and my wives are at peace, then they can inherit my property, but any other woman I am sneaking around with should not disturb them when I am dead. I beg to move this Bill. We should make it clear such that the judges who have been ruling that they cannot allow everyone to claim to be the wife because it is defined in the Marriage Act, can now appreciate they are doing a good thing."
