    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. One of your qualities is fairness in your ways of doing things. I am among the first people who came to the House today, but just because somebody was called and used my card, I was disconnected. I am sure that took me to the last number. However, I have been around and I am grateful that I have gained a lot from the contributions from my colleagues, which makes me a better person by that extent. I rise to support this Law of Succession (Amendment) Bill by Hon. Peter Kaluma. It makes a lot of sense. It is progressive by its nature because, for the longest time, we have taken the husbands to be the head of families without including the wife. For the longest time, whenever succession issues come up, we have only dealt with them in isolation of the wives as if they are not empowered enough to have resources. It took one powerful lady by the name Hon. Judge Asenath Ongeri to make this determination that a spouse can either be a husband or a wife. A beneficiary of the estate of the deceased can also either be a husband or a wife. Before then, it was assumed that any wealth which is out there to be shared can only be emanating from a man, but now we have very powerful ladies.
