    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. You can see that to your left, we mostly have male Members. You can now understand the interest that this Bill is attracting. Hon. Kaluma has come with a Bill that is very important. It is a Bill which will solve a lot of problems we have witnessed in the recent past. In the process of Africans being civilized, they ended up being westernized. They forgot their culture and embraced other peoples’ culture. In the process, we ended up having a lot of problems, especially with regard to the law of succession. We had a very well spelt out succession procedure in our diverse African cultures and traditions. In our tradition, you would never find someone who is an ex-wife trying to fight for properties of a deceased person. In the African set-up, we do not talk about the deceased. Because we have been westernized instead of being civilized, we are and this Bill will sort out some of these issues."
