    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to talk on this Bill. First of all I thank Hon. Duale for coming up with the WAQF Bill. I thank all Members who have spoken on the Bill before me. The WAQF Bill is an endowment fund. The concept is basically Islamic. It is always good. It is to help weaker people in the society. It is for those who have more to give out, and for those who have a good heart to also contribute to the welfare of the common people. In line with the Constitution of this country, the Bill is within the context of our laws. It will contribute to the welfare of the citizens of this country. Kenyans who profess the Islamic faith are quite many in this country. They are in many parts of the country. As Members have said, they are everywhere in the country. I have no problem if it contributes to the welfare of Kenyans, wherever they are. It is also good to have it so that the law which will come out of this will be within the laws of Kenya. That is so that those funds can be managed in line with the laws and regulations of this country. With those few remarks, I support the Bill. Thank you so much."
