    "content": "But there is one significant thing that I regret we did not pass. Sometimes in our excitement we forget very useful things. The main reason I was here is to talk about Clause 29(c) of the original Act that Hon. Kaluma dropped. It refers to where the deceased was a woman and her husband was being maintained by her, immediately prior to the date of her death. This was favourable to our men. Why must we talk about equality as women but when it is equality to the men we oppose? I am shocked that it is men opposing equality to them. What is the matter with men? When you see Hon. Mbadi moving all over, sometimes he forgets to look at things which are significant for men. It is not just about cohabitation. It should have said that even if your wife was supporting you before while she was alive, you do not have to prove. But now it means that it is one way. We need to balance. We have actually missed a very important amendment in our excitement. I encourage Hon. Kaluma to bring it again and I will support him."
