    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I was saying, this is at the heart of succession which actually disrupts our culture and social set-up in a very major way. Marriage, children and family are the core of any society. So, any issue that touches them is extremely important and the issue of succession has been such an issue. Members have said here that it has tainted burials of many very prominent people. Bodies have been kept for years in the mortuary. Funerals have been disrupted and strangers have appeared when people should be mourning and it is just because of this. It is pitting spouses against each other, particularly where there are polygamous marriages whether legal or not legal. There have been many battles. It pits children against each other. We have had long cases particularly where you have children of various spouses. Sometimes, property stays in the banks while people are actually suffering because issues cannot be resolved.
