"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to add my voice in congratulating Hon. Peter Kaluma for bringing these amendments to the Law of Succession Bill. This is very important because of the confusion that is there. Just to give a background, the Marriage Act was an issue that was discussed for many years, from the time we had our first President to our third. Just when we were transitioning to the fourth President, His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta, I was the Minister for Gender. We sat down with the Attorney-General after President Kibaki asked us to deal with the Marriage Bill once and for all. The religious leaders together with the Attorney-General, Prof. Githu Muigai did a good job. We sat together and all agreed why we do not want to see women running helter-skelter after being asked when they got married."
