    "content": "have a lot of questions, but when it comes to Waqf, that is money you have dedicated to support some children, primary schools and hospitals. They cut across the country. It is up to the management of waqf to determine what they should give to schools and the poor. Some people need shelter. We are told that a similar law was approved by the Cabinet in 1954, but it has not been actualised. Hon. Duale needs to be applauded for his effort to bring about this Bill. People of other faiths can also emulate this initiative. We also have many Christian organisations which are very wealthy and well managed. I have heard stories that sometimes in Europe, a billionaire who does not have a child would live with a pet in the house. Somebody would, therefore, write a will that his or her property be handed over to their pets. That does not really make sense. It is up to certain institutions to take over after the demise of such a person, so that that money is directed to correct use by taking it to Africa and other parts of the world where people are struggling with what to do in life. With those few remarks, I support this Bill."
