    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill. The Bill seeks to repeal the Wakf Commissioners Act, Cap 109 of the Laws of Kenya to establish the waqf commission and its composition, functions and remuneration of members of the commission. The Bill also seeks to straighten management of waqf through a transparent and proper way of disposing of property and dealing with unclaimed properties of deceased Muslims. The waqf is one of the strong Islamic economic instruments, which means religious endowment that is related to the religious charitable donations globally. It has been a source of development used in the building of mosques, madrassa, educational institutions and libraries. Its benefits are not restricted to the Muslim communities alone. It rather goes beyond religious, cultural and racial boundaries. Waqf is one of the sources of Islamic economic system. The establishment of the waqf commission will promote empowerment of the needy members of society. Therefore, we need to revive the institution. I strongly believe that the commission will be effective and become the strongest Islamic institution of poverty alleviation. With those remarks, I support."
