    "content": "The only concern that I have is Clause 3(2) which says that a person not named in this section shall not be a dependant for the purposes of this Act, unless the person proves maintained by the deceased for a period of two years prior to the deceased’s death. That clause should be deleted. In respect of the rest of the things, I want to congratulate my brother, Hon. Kaluma, for bringing this Bill, so that the law of succession becomes sensible and we take away these rogue lawyers who extend cases for too long. At the end of the time, the actual dependant gets nothing and the lawyers give them huge bills. That is the point Hon. Kaluma has put across. Let us have a distinction between a dependant and who is not."
