    "content": " On Section 29(1) he defines who is a dependent and on Section 29(2) he gives a provision that one is not a dependent unless he or she can prove that they were maintained by the deceased for two years. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, why include a former wife and allow a person who can prove you were maintaining her for two years before your death to claim property? This Bill is giving legitimacy to “come we stay”. The women you keep in apartments can inherit your wealth while the woman who lived with you for 30 years and has your children cannot get a penny. Finally, these are pertinent issues that Hon. Kaluma needs to address otherwise the existing law in my opinion, the Marriage Act, which took us along time, is far much better than what is being proposed. I have no problem because I am of the Muslim faith. Our inheritance is documented in the holy Quran, but as a Kenyan I have voters who are not Muslims and I must protect them. The women in my constituency who are not Muslims must be protected from the bad laws that Hon. Kaluma wants to sneak in."
