David ole Sankok","speaker":{"id":13166,"legal_name":"David Ole Sankok","slug":"david-ole-sankok"},"content":" Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am sure you have understood. I have a problem with clause 29(1) (b) which states dependents include: “(b) such as the deceased’s parents, step parents, grandparents, grandchildren, step- children, children whom the deceased had taken into his family as his own, brothers and sisters and half-brothers, half-sisters, as were being maintained prior to his death. I think this will bring a lot of problems and confusion. We need to redefine this because if you are my dependant and I have taken you in while I was alive, you should appreciate for the years I have taken care of you. Once I have gone, everything I was giving you is also gone and what I had remains for my family. You cannot say because I took you in, gave you shelter, took care of you and paid your school fees for 10 years; now that I have gone, you still insist that my wife must take over and inherit you; my little sympathy and goodwill as well as other family members."}
