    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this is what occasioned the need for this Bill to ensure that we make some reforms to the Law of Succession Act, 1981 basically because a lot has happened. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 has provided even better provisions for us. Other laws including the Matrimonial Act have also better and more progressive provisions. Our 2010 Constitution, the Land Act, 2012, the Land Registration Act, 2012, the Land Commission Act, 2012 and the Matrimonial Property Act,2013 allow women to acquire land through purchase, gifts, inheritance and allocation of public land by the Government is seamless and processes confirmed in the provisions of the Constitution and other laws including equality and non-discrimination. Women continue to face hurdles in the inheritance of land and property. This is ironical since inheritance is a more assured way of women acquiring land and property in this country."
